Contadina: True Campania Buffalo Mozzarella PDO since 1950 02/05/2017 - In 1950 a small farm with a Buffalo herd was funded in the province of Caserta in an area with an ancient tradition raising buffalo and producing milk and mozzarella. This is the so called PDO zone between the cities of Capua and Mondragone, an uncontamined area witout any industrial plant. The milk used and processed comes exclusively from this area form carefully selected farmers who take always care of this territory because their special bond with the land: a fundamental value for the company. The farms are within a 15km radius in order not to stress the milk and maintaining it always hot during the processing.
With the passing of the years the company became bigger and bigger thanks to the know-how and the passion that made this product a top quality one and in 1998 the Conatdina Cheese Agricultural Cooperative was opened. But as all the well done things the process of expansion was gradual and required a lot of years. So a new functional structure was biult only in 2001 adapting its prodution due to the continue innovation and new technologies which are means to reach the best quality as possible making very strict controls maintaining the quality level of the milk constantly high and the ensure consumer food safety. The production is entirely traceable along every part of the productive chain.
Despite the technologic progresses the craft component, which requires year of experience and passion, is still the most fundamental one. In fact the mozzarella La Contadina is produced following the PDO Mozzarella di Bufala Campana disciplinery written by the Ministry of Agriculture. During the last years La Contadina, apart from the still obtained PDO, has obtained a lot of international certification thanks to its quality and controls as the BRC and IFS certifications which are very relevant at an international level, but also the Halal certifications as it concern the eastern countires and the Ethical Sedex Smeta 4 pillars.
When you taste the product you immediately feel the tastes and aromas of the land of its origin, a true Campania mozzarella with still hot pure local buffalo milk!
If your mozzarella is cold when you recieve it, as it needs to be at cool temperature keeping it fresh during the shipping, we recommend you to put it still in its package under hot water until it will be warm.
