Buffalo Mozzarella

Caprese salad with sliced tomatoes, mozzarella, basil leaves, and black pepper on a white plate, with a package of mozzarella cheese in the background.

Macroom Buffalo Mozzarella, is produced using milk from Grass Fed Water Buffalo. Our mozzarella is a fresh, soft, semi elastic textured cheese. The process involves heating the curd to a point where it can be stretched and formed into various shapes.

Buffalo Ricotta

A dish of whipped ricotta cheese topped with fresh figs, chopped nuts, mint leaves, and honey, served on a light blue plate. In the background, there is a container of Macroom Buffalo Ricotta cheese and a white ceramic crock.

Buffalo Ricotta is a cheese which is obtained from the whey of Buffalo Milk. It emanates from the liquid part that separates from the curd when making Buffalo Mozzarella Cheese.

It is pearly white and firm with a moist consistency.
It has a delicate, characteristic aroma and is suitable for sweet and savoury desserts.

Cypriot Style Grilling Cheese

A plate of grilled halloumi cheese with cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, black olives, and fresh mint leaves garnished on a white dish.

Our Cypriot Style Grilling Cheese, is a delicious firm cheese that holds it’s shape well when grilled, but yet remains ‘squeaky’ soft.

As a result of the Buffalo Milk used to make this cheese, the flavour is earthy and sweet.

Buffalo Burrata

Caprese salad with mozzarella, prosciutto, sliced peaches, and greens on a white plate

We have developed an Irish version of Burrata Cheese which uses both the milk and cream from our herd of Grass Fed Water Buffalo. This has led to an exquisite product, maximising the flavour of our award winning Buffalo Mozzarella and supplemented by the magnificent addition of cream to enhance the flavour and profile of our cheese. Burrata originated as an Italian Buffalo Milk Cheese made from Mozzarella and cream. The outer casing is solid cheese while the inside contains cream, giving it an unusual soft texture best described as a gooey mixture of cream and small cheese curds. Burrata distinguishes itself from Mozzarella, as the stretched curd is used to create a pouch that is then filled with a mixture of cream and fresh curds. The pouch is then sealed off to create Burrata’s signature dumpling-like shape. The nice thing about Burrata Cheese, is the supreme balance it achieves in both flavour and texture. Burrata has similar flavour notes as Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, but with a more decadent & concentrated milky taste and sweetness, reminiscent of rich cream.
