Buffalo mozzarella in the Fondi plain
Visit a buffalo farm near Fondi, watch mozzarella shaped by hand and taste it the same morning.
The fertile plain around Fondi, between the mountains and the sea, lies within the protected production area of buffalo mozzarella. Our concierge arranges a morning visit to a family-run farm and dairy, where the day begins with the buffaloes themselves, grazing and resting in the fields and stalls. Inside the dairy, you watch the cheesemakers stretch the curd by hand in hot water and pinch off each ball, the gesture of mozzare that gives mozzarella its name. The visit ends at the table, with a tasting of mozzarella made that morning alongside ricotta, local vegetables and a glass of wine from the surrounding hills. Fondi's medieval castle and old town are only minutes away.
