The cheese-making process was carried out using the standard Caciocavallo cheese making technology, introducing changes when appropriate.
The different milk percentages, the required rennet amount and the time of coagulum, and the pH of the curd at the stretching point were selected on the basis of preliminary tests, depending on the coagulation ability of the obtained mixtures and on the stretching properties of the curd
Percentage varied of optimal ratios milk were the following: 82:18 (vol/vol) for cow/ewe milk and 65:35 (vol/vol) for cow/goat milk.
The pH values for cow/ewe and cow/goat milk cheeses were chosen to confer the optimum stretch ability to the curds: higher pH values gave a tough curd that fractured during stretching, whereas lower pH values resulted in a soft curd that collapsed during stretching.
