Where can one buy buffalo milk?

I was excited to see a baby moose once...until I realized I couldn't see Mama. She walked up behind the baby and we edged around the car and watched them from there.

@ DC Gator,

Firstly, no problem ... I have learnt a bit too ... One learns something new daily ...

Rec´d quite a bit of feedback on topic too and leads to follow ...

I enjoy ensalada caprese immensely ... and then, yes the canapés and Topping my Pizzas.

My advice is to tackle emailing these suggestions, one per day or one per couple of days ... and speak to whom ever, you can --- Italian restaurateurs and chefs --- they know who distributes water buff milk ... and Italian delis too ...

Please keep me posted. If by chance, I can find out more, I shall post the details to you.

Kindest,

Margi

If you're really ambitious, you could contact Billie Swamp Safari in south Florida. They might be interested in allowing you to wrangle some of their free roaming water buffalo. You might be in it for the milk, but they would simply be interested as an attraction for the tourists!

That would be akin to wild cow milking, just with more blood, since these aren't really very wild cows.

It kind of reiterates the reason the rabbit stew recipe begins, "First, catch a rabbit."

And finally, that we don't have very many water buffalo on US so buffalo diary products are scarce and difficult to get.

So I think the answer to the OP's query is that probably would better to be in Europe or Asia if you want buffalo dairy products.

Rather testy? The Am. bison is downright difficult to handle (my cousin had a buffalo ranch...if one had difficulty calving, it was really, really difficult to assist). I've milked sheep, goats, and cows, but I don't think I'd want to go near an Am. bison and pull on her udder...
