Ricotta di Bufala is an Italian cheese made from the whey leftover from the production of buffalo mozzarella. It is particularly associated with the Campania region in Southern Italy, where water buffalo milk is traditionally used to make both mozzarella and ricotta. The use of buffalo milk gives this ricotta a distinct flavour compared to ricotta made from cow's milk. 

Ricotta di Bufala has a rich, creamy, and slightly sweet flavour. It is spread on bread or crackers or used as an ingredient in various savoury dishes like cannoli and cheesecakes, pasta dishes, and more.
