List of water buffalo cheeses

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Water buffalo cheeses are types of cheese made from the milk of the domestic water buffalo. This type of cheese is popular in many parts of the world, including Italy, India, and the Middle East. The water buffalo's milk is richer and creamier than cow's milk, which makes it ideal for cheese production.
