About Water buffalo milk
Water buffalo milk is the milk obtained from domestic water buffalo, sold as a fresh or processed dairy ingredient. It is consumed as a drink and used to make dairy foods such as yogurt, butter, and cheeses. The liquid is opaque white and typically has a rich, creamy mouthfeel.
It is sold whole or processed in forms such as pasteurized, sterilized, fermented, or powdered milk. Flavor is generally mild and milky, though processing and fermentation change it. Water buffalo milk is distinct from cow's milk, and products made from it should not be treated as interchangeable with mixed-milk products.
