Mozzarella di bufala — where to taste it real
It's a southern Italian buffalo cheese, eaten within 24 hours, and you should eat it where it's made.
Where to stop
Driving from Naples to the Amalfi Coast, take the Battipaglia exit and visit Tenuta Vannulo. Organic farm, no shipping (so you have to eat it there), small museum of dairy tools. The 11:00 production tour ends with a tasting.
Heading north toward Caserta, Caseificio Polito in Aversa offers free tastings and is open until 19:00. Their treccia (braided mozzarella) is the regional specialty.

You eat your way through Naples or you don't really visit it. Five stops, three hours, two pockets full of paper cones.
