The Mozzarella di Bufala Campana PDO sector has received double positive recognition from the latest sales figures. The annual meeting of Assolatte (the association of the Italian dairy industry) confirmed the leading role of buffalo mozzarella among the great Italian PDO cheeses. In fact, in 2022 its production was the only one growing (+3.8% compared to 2021), along with that of Taleggio PDO. Despite the current difficulties related to the sharp rise in inflation and the war in Ukraine, buffalo mozzarella is dominating the markets.

We will continue to focus on the distinctive elements of our product: quality and the link with the territory,” says Domenico Raimondo, President of the Consortium for the Protection of Mozzarella di Bufala Campana PDO.
