TERRITORY HOME TERRITORY Territory The area with the greatest vocation and with the highest quantity produced of Mozzarella di Bufala Campana PDO is the coastal territory of the province of Caserta, once seen as a purely marshy land, but for centuries it has been the reference point in the breeding of horses and buffaloes; the breeders of these territories are called "Mazzonari" because of the mazzone, a long and thin tool with an iron tip that was used by the buffalo to lead the herd. Without a doubt, the typical product of the area is buffalo mozzarella, the undisputed protagonist of the Mediterranean cuisine and diet, also known as white gold or the pearl of the table, precisely for its precious qualities and food characteristics. Volturno è il dio patrono dell’omonimo fiume campano. L’imperatore Domiziano ne fece collocare una statua sul ponte che attraversava il fiume Volturno e lo rappresentava sdraiato come ad un banchetto con in testa una corona di canne palustri. During the Roman era, Pliny the Elder in his "Naturalis Historia" exalted the laudatissimum caseum of Campo Cedicio, an area that today we can identify with the Piana dei Mazzoni which extends right into the area of the Volturno river: buffaloes spread with incredible ease making the most of those pastures otherwise unproductive due to the frequent invasion of river waters; and it is from the 16th century that the strip between the Appian Way and the sea became populated with numerous breeding centers, the famous straw or procoi and took on the characteristic name of Mazzone delle Rose, the same that was already defined "maison de roses".
