Thanks for the posting this!

According to Google maps the farm is exactly 78.4 miles from my front door. I will take a drive out there prior to the holidays.

Has anyone ever had Italat brand mozzarella di bufala?  My local grocery store, Stop & Shop, has a large imported foods section in which they carry this brand.  They carry a 4.4 oz. container (soaked in brine) for about $6.49.  That's a bit pricey, no?

Here's their website (good luck reading it): http://www.italat.com/index.php

Thanks, anyone.

Interesting that they are using a cheese from a company in the  Czech Republic?
I wonder if they are producing it or importing and distributing?At around $25 per lb. that is expensive.You could probably buy online and have some shipped elsewhere for less.

Costco now has it. Water packed in a large tub. I will find out the brand name.

just check the dates on the top.  My costco usually has 2 or 3 different dates, obviously you want the most recent one.

I've used the Bubulas Bubalis Mozzarella di Bufula, and found the quality superior to anything I could buy at Whole Foods.  It arrived cold packed, and super fresh.  And it also did not soup up my pies the way some of the Bufula can...nice tangy taste, perfect on a smokey neapolitan style pie.  Highly recommend. (I live in So. Cal, so maybe its short trip makes it a fresher choice?)
