    While mozzarella is probably the best-known buffalo cheese, buffalo milk can be used to make all types of cheese, even blue vein and brie. Quattro Portoni is a family-run farmhouse cheesery in Lombardy, Italy specialising in buffalo milk cheese. Over the years, they have adapted traditional cheese recipes from the region (including Taleggio and Gorgonzola), to be made with 100% buffalo milk sourced from their own herd. Co-owner and head cheese-maker Bruno Gritti, and his daughter Michela show us around the farm and talk about some of their trademark cheeses.

    I watched this on Friday night, and was somewhat melancholy at the thought that I might never get to try any of these cheeses. Then, earlier this evening, I left the cozy confines of Brooklyn, New York, to meet some friends in the uncharted wilderness of Jersey City, New Jersey. Machete in hand, they led me though the jungle and tundra to a delightful turophilic oasis known as 3rd & Vine. Lo and behold, they were serving Quadrello!

Many of them do not sell to big supermarkets, but they work with restaurants, however, are increasing those that have websites and send by air ... I can not tell you the shipping costs. Ciao!

      Grass, hay... If you produce cheese typical of a region (Lombardy is not the region of buffalo mozzarella), like the ones in the video, you have to follow the rules, in many cases, even when a cheese producer is not part of a consortium. In the case of a consortium for the protection of the product, the name, and the territory, the producer is required to follow a specific disciplinary (DOCG, PDO, etc.), made up of rules on cleaning, pastures, milk treatment, maturation some cheese, etc. Failure to observe may lead to the revocation or non-renewal of the trademark for protection of its products.
