Tomorrow Luigi (72) and Caterina Murolo (37) will open Dresden’s first and only mozzarella factory “Punto Mozzarella”.
The Italian couple invested around 300,000 euros in converting, cooling and production technology. “I wasn’t satisfied with the supply of mozzarella in my two Italian restaurants. That’s how the idea of producing the mozzarella myself came about,” says Luigi Murolo.
Buffalo’s milk comes not only from Naples, but also from Giuseppe Cioffi (45), Cassaro (cheese maker). “Every day we can produce up to 500 kilos of fresh mozzarella without any preservatives,” says Giuseppe proudly.

But he also makes burrata, buffalo milk butter, ricotta, mozzarella pizza from cow’s milk.
“The fresh milk machine has already been ordered, then we will make milk from the regional cow. It also makes good mozzarella,” Luigi crosses his arms.

The factory (Monday to Saturday 10.30am to 1.30pm) offers cheese and Italian specialties from pasta to wine and colorful ceramics.
“Of course you can get snacks from us starting at 5 euros,” Luigi invited. Buffalo milk mozzarella is sold in different sizes – 17 euros per kilo.
