Why buffalo milk proteins

The Value of Buffalo Milk

While cow's milk is widely used for dairy production and in almost all countries, buffalo milk is famous for the production of buffalo mozzarella cheese, a typical Italian product universally appreciated for its peculiar organoleptic and nutritional characteristics.

Superior Nutritional Value

Numerous scientific publications have proved the superior nutritional value of buffalo milk, which offers multiple benefits:

  • Breast-Milk-Like Fats: Fat globules are similar to the ones in breast milk and contain higher levels of medium-chain fatty acids, which are rapidly absorbed and metabolized.
  • Proteins Rich in Essential Aminoacids: Proteins are easily digestible and rich in essential aminoacids.
  • Minerals and Vitamins: Buffalo milk is richer in minerals, such as calcium and iron, and vitamins, in particular retinol.
  • Lactoferrin: This protein with antibacterial, antiviral and immunomodulatory activity is present at levels six time higher than in cow milk.

Buffalo Whey Proteins: Unique Benefits

Buffalo milk whey, used for the production of B-Power whey protein concentrate, contains a variant of β-lactoglobulin not present in cow milk whey. This protein is rich in essential aminoacids and peptides, resulting from its digestion, which have an important antioxidant activity.

PDO milk

The proteins present in B-POWER are produced using only raw materials from the PDO area of ​​the production of Mozzarella di Bufala Campana. The PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status is a geographical indication of the European Community aimed at identifying a typical high quality Italian product. This mark certifies that the area of ​​origin and the traditions used to create the product make it so peculiar that it must be protected from any alteration.

Non-intensive farming and natural nutrition

The milk used for B-POWER comes from non-intensive farms, where the buffalo animals are naturally fed. Strict feeding and animal welfare protocols are applied on PDO farms, guaranteeing superior quality of raw materials. This attention to animal welfare and feed quality results in a milk with unique characteristics, enhancing its beneficial properties.

Sustainability and Traceability

B-POWER is the result of our short supply chain, made exclusively using whey from local companies. This choice allows us to guarantee the most fresh product. Each phase of production is carefully monitored to ensure a high quality standard, with a reduced environmental impact.
