OUR STORY
OroBianco Italian Creamery owns and operates the first and only water buffalo dairy and creamery in the state of Texas. We have officially moved our herd to Dripping Springs, Texas where we also operate a micro-dairy. We make a fantastic gelato from our water buffalo milk, local cow milk and cream, and other locally sourced and made-in-house ingredients. We are chefs, ranchers and cowboys, and we proudly raise our livestock using south Texas ranching traditions that we believe enhance the animals’ well-being and sustain our soils. We strive to produce the finest gelato and cheese in Texas while being diligent stewards of our land and our livestock. We started with a goat dairy almost 20 years ago and have been hooked on dairy farming ever since. Though our water buffalo are much larger than our goats, they are just as gentle and just as much a part of the family. We hope you love our offerings as much as we love what we do.
Our Animals
Our herd of Water Buffalo currently live in Dripping Springs, Texas. Thriving on a grass-fed diet with no growth hormones or antibiotics, our water buffalo can produce milk that contains almost three times the butterfat and nutrients than cows’ milk and reflects the terroir of our lush Texas pastures. Though powerful and intimidating, our water buffalo are gentle, intelligent and emotional animals, and we are fortunate to be on the ground with them 365 days a year.
Our Gelato
We craft our gelato in small batches and completely by hand using water buffalo milk, local cow milk and cream and other local and premium ingredients. Never using mixes, we use real fruit from local Texas farms, nut butters that we make in-house, herbs that we grow ourselves and eggs from our own chickens. We are deliberate in composing recipes and flavors that highlight local terroir and, as Texas farmers and ranchers ourselves, we proudly use locally-sourced ingredients that reflect the abundance and richness of our land. This is seriously small-batch gelato, y'all.
