Annutolo is one of La Tenuta Bianca's signature buffalo cheeses, created using an original recipe that combines traditional cheesemaking with innovative flavors. Made from fresh buffalo milk, the cheese features a soft outer shell filled with creamy buffalo ricotta and pistachios, creating a rich texture and a balanced contrast between delicate dairy notes and the nutty flavor of pistachios. Produced entirely within the company's integrated farm-to-cheese production system, Annutolo reflects La Tenuta Bianca's commitment to high-quality raw materials and artisanal craftsmanship. Its distinctive recipe, handcrafted production, and elegant presentation have made Annutolo one of the producer's most recognizable specialty cheeses.
Producer
La Tenuta Bianca is an Italian family-owned producer of buffalo milk cheeses and dairy products based in Altavilla Silentina, Campania. The origins of the family farm date back to 1850, when the Di Masi family began livestock farming in the fertile Piana del Sele. Today, the company operates a fully integrated production system, managing every stage from cultivating its own animal feed and raising Mediterranean water buffalo to processing fresh milk into artisanal dairy products. Its range includes buffalo mozzarella, ricotta, caciocavallo, scamorza, yogurt, aged cheeses, buffalo meat specialties, and extra virgin olive oil. In 2017, La Tenuta Bianca opened its artisanal dairy and tasting facility, further expanding its farm-to-table concept. The company is recognized for its strong focus on animal welfare, sustainable farming, and traditional cheesemaking techniques combined with modern quality standards. Several of its cheeses have received recognition at the Italian Cheese Awards, highlighting the quality of its handcrafted buffalo dairy products.
