You are here: HomeWhat We Do Buffalo Mozzarella Authentication

Buffalo Mozzarella Authentication

Buffalo milk commands a premium price compared to cows’ milk and is used to make mozzarella cheese. Products labelled as “buffalo mozzarella” must be made solely with buffalo milk, and not with milk from any other species. Mozzarella can also be made with cows’ milk, but this is a much lower priced product. Buffalo mozzarella is thus a target for fraudsters, either through mislabelling of cow’s milk mozzarella, or by partial substitution of buffalo with cows’ milk during production.

QIB Extra offers this fast, reliable and cost effective new service to ensure the authentictity of your mozzarella products. Testing can be done on either a whole mozzarella product or on melted samples.
