Azienda Bufalina Franzese S. A. Srl

In Sant'Antimo, at the gates of Naples, Azienda Bufalina Franzese manages a herd of a thousand buffaloes, making them the pivot of a closed-loop system: from milk to cheese without intermediaries, in a zero-kilometer supply chain that remains rare in the landscape of Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP. Every process exclusively transforms fresh milk from their herd, so the journey from stable to spinning takes hours, not transport. Behind this organization are three generations who have grafted cheesemaking mastery onto nearly a century of livestock management: first the animals, then the cheese, in an order that explains the product's consistency. Adherence to the protocols governing the denomination in the nineteen authorized municipalities of Campania is not merely compliance but the logical consequence of this direct control. Those who oversee the milk from the birth of the calf to the mozzatura can afford strict standards because they know every step of the chain and do not have to rely on the work of others.
