Truckers' protest halts Italy's buffalo mozzarella output

A truckers’ protest in southern Italy halted buffalo mozzarella production, with an official estimating producers lost €3 million in 24 hours. The week-long strike over high diesel costs has prevented milk from reaching dairies in the Naples region and finished cheese from reaching customers, while also disrupting deliveries of other basic goods and leaving fuel pumps empty across much of the south.
