Ramini Mozzarella - Sonoma County

You haven't really lived until you've brushed a water buffalo

We went on a really nice tour, the water buffalo were so sweeeet! The tours are really perfect for kids, the cheese tasting comes with the tour and is really great. Best mozzarella I ever had!

The tour was worth every penny! Audrey was so passionate and clearly has the best interest of the animals in mind with every decision made. We learned so much and got to brush and pet the sweet baby buffalo! The tasting was fresh and delicious and we made sure to buy some while we could :

Fabulous experience meeting the Ramini team and the beautiful Buffalo! The Buffalo were unexpectedly sweet and cuddly! Yes cuddly! After our learning session and tasting we got to brush the 1 year olds and interact with them one on one. Absolutely amazing!

Ramini mozzarella has been one of the most memorable cheesemakers on the California cheese trail. Ran by a remarkable woman who puts her entire soul into this business (imagine working 100 hours a week into anything), you could really tell that the quality of the cheese is of the utmost importance. Even through COVID-19 and the loss of her husband, the owner of this business has not ever cut corners or sacrificed the happiness of her Buffalo. By coming up with creative solutions to avoid e errors putting her Buffalo in uncomfortable situations, she's done fantastic things that are considered impossible to do in the cheesemaking world (separating mothers from their children isn't something that this business does). However, times are tough and more now than ever this business needs our help! With unique and delicious cheese that literally NO ONE ELSE in America makes (water buffalo are too hard to manage for everyone except Ramini), we can continue to have a slice of Italian heaven right here in the Bay Area. Please make a tour, it's a 5/5 experience!
