Ethical rearing conditions
Our Italian partners place a high priority on treating the buffalo in a stress-free manner and according to the highest standards. These values are reflected in every process, from rearing to slaughter. Our partners categorically reject the widespread practice of Italian buffalo farmers of allowing young males to die, as they are not suitable for the production of buffalo mozzarella. As the first association of buffalo farmers throughout Italy, they are committed to animal welfare and offer both male and female animals a life of the highest quality standards. We consider this an admirable company and a role model.
Ideal geographical and climatic conditions
The farms in southern Italy are perfectly suited for water buffalo breeding: In a coastal town south of Naples, close to the Mediterranean Sea, our buffalo live outdoors year-round. In the pastures, you can smell the salty, fresh air and feel the gentle breeze from the nearby sea. Our buffalo grow there surrounded by expansive meadows with access to watering holes and feed exclusively on fresh grass and Italian herbs. A shelter provides the buffalo with protection at night or during cold weather. As a side effect of buffalo breeding, the animals naturally cultivate their habitat, thus contributing to the sustainable maintenance of the natural balance of our ecosystem.
Unique taste experience
Our Italian buffalo meat is also exceptionally tender and characterized by its distinctive, particularly aromatic flavor. The high-quality diet and, in particular, the aromatic Italian herbs give this meat a unique flavor. Our buffalo are raised according to very strict guidelines to ensure optimal conditions. Upon tasting this product, it's immediately clear that the considerable effort is reflected in the taste and quality.
Nutrient-rich properties
The animals' natural and free-roaming lifestyle, at home on expansive meadows 365 days a year, whatever the weather, represents a stark contrast to today's widespread intensive animal farming in cramped stables. Combined with the buffalo's natural robustness, this makes it possible to avoid the use of antibiotics. The buffalo's exemplary diet of fresh, Italian grasses and herbs also eliminates the need for concentrated feed and growth hormones. The result is meat that is unparalleled, and not just in terms of taste.
