At the Table – Ramini Mozzarella

Host Clark Wolf talks with Audrey Hitchcock, owner and cheesemaker at Ramini Mozzarella. Audrey shares the story of her path to making mozzarella di bufala with milk from her herd of water buffalo, along with her husband Craig Ramini, starting their operation in 2009. Tragically, Craig passed away in 2015 after a battle with cancer. Audrey has continued to take care of the herd, and only milks once a day, leaving the other portion of the milk for the calves, keeping mothers and babies together. The latest challenge that Audrey is facing is the loss of her lease for her property. She is keeping her herd at two different locations in Sonoma, and is looking for investors to buy property and get back to milking the buffalo and making her amazing cheese.
