Buffalo mozzarella cheese made in Paestum

The buffalo mozzarella cheese made in Paestum, together with limoncello liqueur, is worldwide famous.

The cows grazing free on the Cilento hills give an organic milk like no other, that gained the Campania mozzarella cheese the PDO certification.

The whole Paestum area, as well as the whole Piana del Sele area, is full of cheese factories producing PDO Paestum buffalo mozzarella cheese, that offer picnic areas where you can enjoy some local white gold; alternatively you can also have some yogurt and ice cream made with buffalo milk, tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella cheese sandwiches, slices of buffalo mozzarella pizza…every kind of local specialty that includes buffalo mozzarella cheese. 

Usually, these cheese factories-agritourisms are overcrowded, especially in summer, so you better book a table so as to avoid queuing under the sun.
