Let’s start with a premise: buffalo mozzarella is a cheese particularly rich in fat.
Every 100g of product contains:
– 18.3g of fat compared to 16.1g in cow’s mozzarella;
– 56mg of cholesterol compared to 50mg in cow’s mozzarella.
Source: SID nutritional table – milk and derivatives.
Fats can cause a rise in blood sugar several hours after a meal, which can mean normal blood sugar levels 2 hours later but a glycemic peak at 4-6 or even 8 hours; each body reacts differently, check your response.
To better manage the quantity, I prefer to buy 50g bites.
According to substitution tables, 100g of ricotta equals 50g of buffalo mozzarella.
Don’t forget to pair it with a generous portion of raw or cooked vegetables.

Ingredients
- buffalo mozzarella (grammage according to dietary plan)
- 1 pinch mixed peppercorns (with grinder)
Preparation
I purchase locally produced buffalo bites [Ragusa].
They say that to fully enjoy the flavor, buffalo mozzarella should be left in its own liquid and not stored in the fridge.
However, since it is exhibited in the retailer’s fridge display, once home I store it in the refrigerator again and take it out at least an hour before consumption to bring it back to the right consistency.Remove the buffalo bites from their liquid when serving.
Transfer them to a bowl, plate, or cutting board.
Grind the pepper.Plate up.
Your buffalo mozzarella bites are ready.
Enjoy your meal!
Delicious with cherry tomatoes and basil.
Storage, tips, and variations
You can serve your buffalo mozzarella with vegetables and greens.
For a lactose-free version, use lactose-free mozzarella.
