Cheesemakers are not happy: buffalo mozzarella has also fallen victim to the protests in Italy

The production of buffalo mozzarella in Southern Italy has halted due to truckers' protests preventing milk delivery. The industry faces an estimated loss of 3 million euros in just 24 hours. Protests against rising living costs have escalated into clashes with police, and the government has deployed the military. The president of the Mozzarella di Bufala Campana Consortium reported that one million liters of milk became unusable. The mozzarella production is crucial for the Campania region, with significant exports. The government plans to tighten penalties for roadblocks caused by truckers' protests ahead of next year's elections.
