At Braehead Foods, we’re delighted to offer Buffalo Farm Cheese’s premium mozzarella—a top choice for chefs looking to enhance their dishes with exceptional quality and flavour. Made from the milk of water buffalo raised in a natural, stress-free environment, this mozzarella is crafted with care, resulting in a rich, creamy cheese full of character.
Buffalo Farm continues the Mitchell family tradition, which dates back to Robert Mitchell in the early 1800s. The journey into buffalo dairy was inspired by a visit from Gordon Ramsay while filming The F-Word, sparking an idea that quickly gained momentum. As Scotland’s first-ever Buffalo Mozzarella producer, overwhelming interest encouraged the leap into production. A visit to Naples reinforced the vast potential of buffalo milk—already making up 12% of the global dairy market and offering a lactose-friendly alternative to cow’s milk. The farm’s story was even featured in This Farming Life on BBC2. Seeing the success of Macroom Buffalo in Ireland confirmed that Scotland was ready for its own buffalo dairy.
