This ricotta has a subtle fresh flavour that is light yet satisfying. It can be enjoyed with honey and fruit or with antipasto. It works well with pasta, salads and baking - it can be baked whole and served with pesto, herbs and olive oil. It is recovered by hand from the first split of the whey which gives a superior smooth and creamy consistency.

Clevedon Buffalo Co. Cheeses & Yoghurts are made with farm fresh milk from their herd of Riverine water buffalo which graze freely on lush open pasture in Clevedon. Buffalo milk contains 58% more calcium, 40% more protein and 43% less cholesterol than cow’s milk. Buffalo is a popular alternative for those who suffer from CMA (cow’s milk allergy).

Just south of Auckland on the shores of the Hauraki Gulf is a farm unlike any other in New Zealand. True pioneers of the buffalo farming scene locally, Richard and Helen Dorresteyn own and operate 200 head of buffalo and were the first to farm buffalo in New Zealand in 2007. We are a family-run business, and collectively produce award-winning fresh buffalo mozzarella, bocconcini, ricotta, yoghurt and marinated buffalo cheese. We are proud to have won multiple awards and gold medals at New Zealand’s national cheese and artisan awards.
