I'm glad I added this to my trip! When a friend told me the best, or some of the best, Buffalo…read moreMozzarella in the world comes from Paestum, I had to make this happen, as a fan of food!
There are multiple farms in the area, but this is one of the best, if not the best. It is an organic farm that raises its own water buffalo and treats them all REALLY well!
There is a lot of automation, and these water buffslo are smart! Three times per day, when the buffalo feel too full of milk, they walk to a pen to get in line to be milked by a robot that uses infrared to find the nipples and attach to them!
There are also yellow brushes that massage the buffalo. They walk right up to them and get in position for the spots they want massaged.
It's a beautiful facility with enough to see and taste. Definitely do it if you can. Advance reservations arw needed for the tours and for the redtaurant if you want to dine on site.
Our tour guide was Rosaria, and she was fantastic! Check them out when visiting Italy.
