Bontà di bufala

Bontà di Bufala is the most eagerly anticipated summer event on the Sele Plain, an authentic celebration dedicated to the gastronomic excellence of Campanian buffalo. Every August, the Matinella district in the municipality of Albanella transforms into a stage of genuine flavors, where the undisputed star is buffalo mozzarella DOP, presented at the stands in its utmost freshness alongside ricotta, aged cheeses, and buffalo yogurt. The event is a tangible tribute to the Campanian cheese-making tradition, recognized and appreciated worldwide. Beyond dairy specialties, the festival offers a complete culinary experience with hot dishes made from buffalo meat prepared on the spot: from steaks to burgers, from stews to skewers, always paired with typical local products that showcase the region's gastronomic richness. But it is not just about food: live music performances, folk dances, artisan markets, and children's activities animate the evenings, creating a festive and engaging atmosphere. Bontà di Bufala represents far more than a simple food festival: it is a complete experience that allows you to discover the agricultural and cultural traditions of the Sele Plain, a territory known for genuine hospitality and gastronomic excellence. An unmissable appointment for those who love authentic cuisine and the charm of Southern Italian folk festivals.
