Can I Eat Cheese Please? Dr. Murphy discovers the benefits of Buffalo Dairy ** updated 26th October
Macroom Buffalo Farm
I met up with Kieran Lynch, from Macroom Buffalo Farm and I’m delighted to say the video is now ready– See end of post!
The buffalo were absolutely beautiful animals, very friendly and so unique. We had a super time there from bringing the buffalo to the milking parlour, and chatting to the cheese maker amongst other things. I’m super excited to share this video with you and I hope you enjoy!

Fat & Cholesterol
Buffalo Mozzarella is lower in fat, saturated fat and lower in cholesterol than for e.g cheddar cheese. The same applies to feta and ricotta.
Vitamins
Buffalo Mozzarella contains higher amounts of Vitamin A, Vitamin E & Vitamin C which are antioxidants.
It also contains more calcium than regular dairy cows milk.
The Mediterranean Diet
Buffalo Mozarella cheese, ricotta, and feta cheese are considered part of the Mediterranean Diet.
Again, moderation is key!
Cheese Issues
One of the issues with dairy products , in particular cheese, is their fat content.
The trick is to know difference between good fats and bad and the amounts of both in our diet and of course moderation.
Check out the video blog on that here!
Additional benefits Buffalo Mozzarella
Probiotics which are beneficial for gut health.
(Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus fermentum)
Lower lactose content so it is easier to digest for some people.
Where can you buy the cheese please.
Hi Esther!
I have attached a link to where it is on sale. Most farmers markets would have it, and a good few supermarkets have it as well!
