Mozzarella di Bufala Campana is La Tenuta Bianca's traditional buffalo mozzarella, produced exclusively from fresh milk obtained from the farm's own Mediterranean water buffalo. Crafted according to the standards of the protected Mozzarella di Bufala Campana PDO designation, the cheese is characterized by its porcelain-white appearance, thin and delicate rind, soft layered texture, and rich, milky flavor with a pleasantly creamy finish. The milk is processed shortly after milking within the company's integrated production system, ensuring exceptional freshness and preserving its natural aroma. Handmade by experienced cheesemakers using traditional pasta filata techniques, the mozzarella reflects the heritage of Campania while maintaining consistent quality through complete control of the production process, from animal feed to the finished cheese. It is intended to be enjoyed fresh and is a flagship product representing La Tenuta Bianca's commitment to authentic buffalo dairy craftsmanship.

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.
