Behind the Label: An Investigation into Italy’s Buffalo Mozzarella Industry


Antonio Palmieri, owner of Tenuta Vannulo, an intensive water buffalo dairy farm, poses in his office. The farm houses approximately 600 water buffalo cows, with cows currently in milk production kept in a visitor-accessible paddock. Other sheds house cows on a production break, males, and calves. The farm produces 2,000 kilograms of milk daily, processed into approximately 400 to 450 kilograms of buffalo mozzarella, plus ricotta, yogurt and ice cream, all sold exclusively through direct sales.
