The Murrah breed of buffalo (Bubalus bubalus) is the premier milking buffalo. It is originally from Haryana and Punjab states of India, but has been used to improve the milk production of dairy buffalos in other countries, such as Italy, Bulgaria, Egypt and Pakistan. In Italy, it is the basis of Mozzarella cheese production, and therefore Italian Pizza. By Italian law, Mozzarella may only be made from buffalo milk, which is preferred for its very high butterfat content, up to 16% compared with 4% for European (Bos taurus) dairy breeds such as Jersey and 8% for Zebu (Bos indicus) breeds such as Sahiwal.
