It is NOT low fat, I think it has about the same calorie content as whole milk yogurt. I suspect that buffalo mozzarella and buffalo milk may not come from the same animal, but I'm not sure. American buffalo are bison, I think the Italian buffalo is a water buffalo. The only true buffalo is the Cape buffalo, found in Africa.

NOW my question is is the buffalo (american bison) that ive been eating as steaks/burgers water buffalo or not... Mon Jan 29 08:46:43 -0800 2007 2237598 42755 ben61820 2 2237990 No, American bison are not water buffalo. We have a big herd down the block, connected with a local restaurant. I believe bison are just raised for meat, and water buffalo are only raised for milk.
