Pasta filata cheeses are typical Italian cheeses char-acterized by a unique technology because the curd, acidified and kneaded in hot water, produces the plastic consistency characteristic of these types of cheese. The Italian pasta filata cheeses include soft and semi-soft varieties consumed fresh or after a brief period of ag-ing, and semi-hard or hard varieties that are subjected to considerable ripening before consumption (Coppola et al., 2003). One of the most important pasta filata cheeses in the Molise Italian Region is Caciocavallo. It is usually produced from cow milk, has a pear-like shape, and the head is closed by strings. It has an amber color, a homogeneous body with very few eyes, and 1 to 2 kg of weight. Some Caciocavallo cheeses are allowed to ripen for 15 d to 2 mo, some others, typical of southern Italy, can be ripened for longer periods such as 6 mo or 1 yr. It is also consumed fresh and as an ingredient of typical traditional recipes.
