During our stay at the Hotel am Viktualienamarkt in Munich (an adorable hotel, by the way), we had buffalo mozzarella each morning for breakfast. Oh my, it was divine!

We can get it in Munich, too, but like yours it’s refrigerated. Which, according to the Italians, ruins everything. (But I agree, it’s still pretty delicious even after refrigeration!)

Not to make you jealous, but I live in London and I have a delicious ball of buffalo mozzarella in the fridge right now that I bought at my local supermarket, although it is available in most grocery stores

Lori – coming right up.

Kirk – I know, I kept thinking about the tainted mozzarella problems as we drove by the burning piles of trash in Naples… luckily all the stuff we ate seemed perfectly wonderful. And if I die from contamination, at least I will die happy.

Deborah – the Italian buffalo aren’t as cute as American bison, that’s for sure. I actually got to see some this trip – photos coming up in the next post.

Andrew – me too!

Antipeople – thanks for stopping by! I’d be honored to be added to your blog rolls.

Hey there. I found your blog while surfing expat blogs, and I have been enjoying reading it.

So, I was wondering, would you mind if I added you to the blogrolls on two of my blogs? You can look at them at these links, if you want:

Again, good writing! Thanks for giving me something quality to read!

i have always wondered what “kind” of buffalo do they milk – american bison or asian water buffalo?
i have a most interesting visual of a bison being in a restaining chute being milked – that would be an interesting photo…

The first time I went to Rome I was confused about why the English version of the menu at a pizzeria listed pizzas featuring “mozzarella cheese of cow.” It was only later that I learned there were buffalo in southern Italy. Which I still don’t entirely understand, but the cheese sure is good (as long as it’s not tainted by chemicals dumped by the local mafiosi, but I guess that’s a whole other story)…

That looks so amazing! I was sometimes able to get the good stuff in the US, but not where we are in Brazil. They call it buffalo, but its nothing like that.

I can’t wait to hear more about your adventures in Italy!
