Mozzarella di Bufala DOP: a tale of poetry, authentic flavor, and territory
The story of caseificio la delizia.
Amid the green hills and rural landscapes of the Caserta province lies a reality that has made the production of Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP—and another excellent DOP product, Ricotta di Bufala Campana—its highest mission. Founded in 1989, Caseificio La Delizia is a family-run business led by brothers Gaetano and Giuseppe Conte, embodying a passion for craftsmanship. The family, tied to this trade for generations, has turned a dream into reality by creating a workshop where every step of the production process is carefully managed to ensure the final product is made by hand, adhering to the Consorzio’s regulations.

From selecting the best buffalo milk sourced from carefully chosen local farms to processing the fresh product, each mozzarella is the result of a meticulous and loving process. In Campania, Mozzarella di Bufala is serious business. Caseificio La Delizia is not just a business but a guardian of traditions. In addition to producing DOP products and others—such as braids, bocconcini, and stracciata—the family is dedicated to promoting the region and its cultural values. Visitors can explore the dairy, immersing themselves in a world where passion for the craft and love for the land come together. Here, the skill in handling the spun paste is an art expressed in every bite, where freshness and authenticity shine from the very first taste.
The inseparable bond between product and territory is what makes Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP unique. The rich and creamy milk is processed using techniques passed down from ancient times (the earliest historical records of Mozzarella di Bufala Campana production date back to the 12th century). The flavor is poetry for the palate: soft to the touch, with a slight resistance that releases a fresh yet dense, milky, and mildly savory taste. It’s a sensory experience that evokes the aromas of the Casertan countryside, a journey that allows anyone who tastes it to celebrate the beauty and the genuine spirit of this land.
