Jazz and massage for happy buffalo and good milk

That feels good: A water buffalo rubs itself against a giant brush at the Tenuta Vannulo dairy farm in Capaccio. Half-tonne black water buffaloes spend their days lounging on rubber mattresses, munching on organic hay or looking forward to vaporised showers that form a fine cooling mist from overhead pipes.

Star treatment at Italian buffalo dairy.

A QUEUE forms for rub-downs as jazz piano tinkles out of the speakers: some of the best buffalo mozzarella in the world starts with in-stable VIP treatment.
