Never tasted buffallo milk.
philippines only artiginal cheese is made of carabao or buffalo milk,queso bianco..carabao milk is consumed in the
morning with whilte rice and salt..
0:15 oh wow, a painting hanged outside
02:30. Soooooo much cute.
Good report! Very informative 😊
2:40 "each cow yields 2 kilos of mozzarella". Is she drunk??
Surprisingly, DW doesn't know where Water Buffalo comes from. Any morphological or official paper on origins will tell you that they come from the Indian Subcontinent.
Is the script AI generated? This is pretty low quality writing for a human that's getting paid
The secret is milking the bulls instead of cows
Awesome 🐃 mike good your body
Water buffalo , produces A2 milk which why it tastes 'better' ( different ) , Non-native to 🇪🇺 mainland , these animas can only thrive in few areas of Southern 🇮🇹 due to climatic conditions.
Water buffaloes are native to south and south east asia. Maybe some buffalo were exported to the roman empire from India during the 2nd century bc. India and rome had a very thriving trade
In indonesia you will find water buffalo especially at south kalimantan/borneo,,they lived around barito river and sometimes they being herd to near coast beach,,
You know I am something of a dairy expert myself
Just say they were traded to Italy from India. No point in hiding it.
Those buffaloes are from India!
Water buffalo is from India
Annoying voice on that narrator
Me, as a Pakistani, thinking "why didn't the Gujjars first invent this kind of cheese??"
(The Gujjars are a South Asian caste/community known for their cattle farming for centuries, with a close – often stereotypical – focus on water buffaloes like those shown in the video)
buffalo milk is common in Pakistan and preferred over cow milk
Im from Africa and India.
African buffalo is very different from Asian water buffalo.
I seriously doubt these buffalo came from Africa!lol
They look like North Indian buffalo with the shorter horn and large amount of milk.
These Buffalo's are from india DW can come to india and seen by themselves..!!
They can do a dna mapping to see where they came from. I wonder how they keep genetic diversity
We Filipinos called it kesong puti
It all goes down to climate,southern Italy climate is similar as north India,that’s why the buffaloes can live there.
From Sri Lanka. They are the best for milk production.
Good.
basically north african cheese
Origin from pakistan and india
From India or Bangladesh or Africa…..it's the same….buffalo's mozzarella is a giant brand in Italy
