Buffalo mozzarella production defines much of the economy around Battipaglia, where the Piana del Sele's water-buffalo herds supply caseifici that ship fresh mozzarella di bufala across Europe within hours of production. The city's population stands at roughly 47,104, concentrated along the railway line that links Salerno to Calabria. Battipaglia grew rapidly after the Riforma Fondiaria land reforms of the 1950s distributed former latifundia holdings to small farmers, and many of those agricultural families still operate the dairies and tobacco-processing facilities that line the SS 18 highway.
The Sele plain stretches inland toward the Greek temples at Paestum, only 20 kilometres south, while the Amalfi Coast begins about 40 kilometres to the northwest around Vietri sul Mare. Salerno's port and high-speed rail station are within 30 minutes by car.
The Salerno province attracts visitors year-round, with Battipaglia serving as a practical base for exploring both the Cilento coast and the Amalfi towns.
