Colour parameters were studied in ‘caciocavallo’ cheese obtained from Agerolese, Burlina, Bianca Val Padana, Marchigiana, Varzese-Ottonese, Piemontese and Reggiana genetic types at 30, 60, 90, 180 and 360 days of maturation. Agerolese ‘caciocavallo’ showed higher lightness (L*) and redness (a*) values than that of Varzese-Ottonese. Reggiana ‘caciocavallo’ is characterized by a higher yellowness (b*) in comparison to the Varzese-Ottonese and Piemontese ones. With an increase in the maturation period, the reflectance percentage and lightness decreased, while the redness and yellowness increased. The opposite trend was observed in Piemontese ‘caciocavallo’ from 30 to 60 days of maturation.
