Campania
Campania in tavola
Running along the gulf of Naples and Sorrento, Campania is home to picturesque towns and strong cultural traditions. The food of Campania is based on inexpensive ingredients, like pasta, herbs, vegetables and the fish – when it is comes time to splurge.
Mozzarella di Bufala DOP
Mozzarella di Bufala is made from buffalo’s milk. Traditionally, buffalo were raised in the pastures of Campania and Lazio and their milk was used to make this exquisite cheese. Before cow’s milk mozzarella came along, there was no need to specify what type of milk the cheese was made from.
