Bufala Farm in Sicily

 

We watched a YouTube video about the Bufala farm in Sicily that created hand made cheese and other goodies at the agriturismo. We had no idea what to expect but we booked lunch at the farm.  Who knew there were water buffalos in Sicily?

Just in case you ever find yourself in Punto Vendita, here is the farm sign so you can call ahead for reservations. They don't speak English so be prepared to translate everything.

They make the most luscious cheeses, dried meats, pizza, vegetables and pasta. We actually ordered the antipasti plate for 4 people and there was so much food we couldn't finish it.  The waitress stopped us from ordering a main course because she knew the quantity of food we ordered.  We were a little miffed at first, but quickly realized we could have ordered half of the food and still not been able to finish it.

Burrata cheese (back), a huge braid of mozzarella (in front of the burrata), a bowl of fresh tomatoes, a salami, and focaccia made up the start of the lunch.  

In Italy you often order wine by telling them red or white. Then they bring you a pitcher of wine from a local producer.  There is no silly bottle to open, or studying the label or discussing the grapes, just good table wine that is always a pleasure to drink. They take the pretense out of wine and serve you a local delicacy that is always good.

This selfie has nothing to do with the Bufala Farm.  It is just a random photo by the sea in Sicily... and our shirt colors match.
