I don't know but guess many of you already know this, but I absolutely love this cheese if you want the real thing closest to Italy and you don't have a source. I had made a trip to Campagnia (source of "the" mozzarela di bufala) and ate my way from Naples to south of Sorrento in Agropoli. I was in the heart of di bufula country. I ate it many times a day. It was fabulous. Had the smoked variety as well.
Well, in Los Angeles (and I would give you a secret source of Italian food products which you would kiss me for) I discovered this cheese, and it is really FABULOUS. So close to the original and so delicious. They ship.
It is expensive and worth it. I have bought imported Italian di bufula and it is not worth the money out here on the West Coast - it doesn't hold this far away from Italy. The California producer Bubalis Bubalis is the best I have discovered. You can order from them here:

Their website is a bit sluggish, be patient, but if you haven't tried this cheese, order it and make a caprese and you will find out what you have been missing. I am going to make lasagne with the ricotta I just bought.
Just sharing the best in the area.
The name of the local store is actually listed on their website as a dealer: Roma Deli.
They are on Lake north of Colorado. The owner has been there seven days a week for 50 years. What a source for Proscuitto, Parma Hams, Meats, cheeses, Italian specialties and oil and cheese and olives and... so much more. Looks like a hole in the wall. Ask the owner to make you a panino at the meat counter. Rosario. You will think you died and landed in an Italian heaven.
No they don't sell pizza flour - thankfully.

The tomatoes now are too mealy. Even the tomatoes we are getting here from hot houses in Sicily just don't cut it. They look good, but taste and texture isn't there. You can have great olive oil, cheese and basil year round, but you can't get the tomoates. We stopped making Caprese sales about 6 weeks ago, and are waiting for spring.
