Over the course of the past few weeks, the world press has spent a great deal of time and energy debating the safety of one of Italy’s greatest natural resources – the seemingly inexhaustible supply of buffalo mozzarella. The garbage strike in Naples – and other unseemly factors – have led many to believe that mozzarella from the Campania region around Naples may be contaminated with dioxin and other toxins.
In reaction to such fears, the region of Lazio (north of Campania, where Rome is located) staged a public event yesterday. Regional administrators and some 38 mayors heralding from southern Lazio – an area producing a great deal of mozzarella – gathered at the Colosseum to distribute cheese and to assure the public that food products from this region are fresh, safe, and delicious.
