The health potential of buffalo milk should not be underestimated; it is one of the richest in terms of quality, with a higher content of fats, minerals, and proteins compared to cow's milk. 

"But in addition to being highly nutritious, buffalo milk also contains a series of functional molecules that give it a high nutraceutical power," says Matteo Lorito, rector of the University of Federico II in Naples and president of the Scientific Committee of the Consortium for the Protection of Mozzarella di Bufala Campana PDO. Buffalo milk is indeed very rich in the so-called longevity proteins, the sirtuins.
