True Italian Mozzarella is made from Buffalo milk, however most U.S. mozzarella is made using skim cow’s milk.  In reality you can use any type of milk, although the taste and texture will vary.

HISTORICAL  ORIGINS

The buffalo was introduced into Italy in the seventh century, but references to cheese products made from its milk only started to appear at the beginning of the twelfth century. Mozzarella became widespread throughout the south of Italy from the second half of the eighteenth century, before which it had only been produced in small quantities.

The number of water buffalo in Italy has grown to over 170,000. They produce 150 million kilograms of buffalo milk, and over 35 million kilograms of buffalo mozzarella each year (Instituto de Pesquisa Economica Aplicada).

The Origininal Buffalo Mozzarella Cheese.

Mozzarella was first made in Italy near Naples from the rich milk of water buffalos.

Because it was not made from pasteurized milk and because there was little or no refrigeration the cheese had a very short shelf-life and seldom left the southern region of Italy near Naples where it was made.

As cheese technology, refrigeration and transportation systems developed the cheese spread to other regions of Italy.

However, to this day it is widely known that the best and most highly prized artisanal produced buffalo mozzarella is still found south of Naples near Battipaglia and Caserta where small factories continue centuries-old traditions making buffalo mozzarella fresh daily for their local customers, who line up at the factories to buy this delicacy.

Answer 7

Cheese can be made from any dairy animal milk.  Fresh raw milk from cows or goats. Its just a different process to making each type of cheese.

Answer 8

In Italy, there is a type of mozzrella called mozzeralla de buffalo but the typical mozzarella is just made from cow's milk.
