What it is

Buffalo milk is milk produced by the domestic water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). It is richer and creamier than cow's milk, with a higher fat and protein content. It is commonly used to make cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products.

Why it's used

Buffalo milk is primarily used to produce cheese, most famously mozzarella di bufala, a protected designation cheese from Italy. Its high fat content makes it ideal for rich, creamy products like ice cream and butter. It is also used in some yogurts and other cultured dairy products.

Health notes

Buffalo milk is considered a food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated buffalo milk and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Buffalo milk is derived from buffalo, which are mammals. It is a source of milk protein and is therefore considered a major allergen under FDA regulations. It does not contain gluten.
