“Buffalo Milk”. Until now, the buffalo industry has been renowned for producing meat and working animals, especially for the live trade to Asia. But, now, buffalo milk is making its mark in the dairy industry. Buffalo milk is high in energy and calcium, but low in cholesterol, and while the industry is widely recognised overseas, it's still in its early stages here in Australia.
Bufalina-Buffalo Mozzarella and Buffalo Feta were sensational as was the rest of there range......

Taste
Delicious, refreshing, exotic, tangy, effervescent . . . no wonder the name translates as "honey kiss"!
It is refreshing to eat, at ambient temperature, when served cold or even frozen. There is a fine balance between its sweetness and its acidity, creating a unique taste sensation. It has exotic appeal similar to the mangosteen, longan, rambutan and lychee. The Achacha is a cousin of the mangosteen which is known as the "queen of tropical fruit" throughout Asia.
also rich in anti oxidants,vitamin c,potassium,riboflavin and folate
