About the Water Buffalo at B?f Creamery
Water Buffalo have called the mountains of Colombia home for many years.
Colombia contains over 800,000 of them – one of the highest concentrations in the world. Water buffalo are well suited to rugged and humid environments making the Colombian mountains a perfect home for our water buffalo.
B?f Creamery believes that great grass produces great cheese. The lush grass of the Colombian Andes combined with fresh air creates the foundation for the dairy. By keeping the buffalo relaxed in their natural environment, the cheese just tastes better.
Water Buffalo naturally eat grass and b?f believes that it's best to keep it this way. This means b?f keeps everything natural. B?f keeps calves with their mothers as this is the most sustainable and humane way to raise water buffalo. B?f uses no hormones, pesticides, or GMO’s. As Alejandro says, "B?f is the Taste from Colombia, Changing the way we share meals together, changing the future of traditional dairy industry and opening the doors of this beautiful Andean country to cheese lovers everywhere."
