Rheological parameters were studied in ‘caciocavallo’ cheese, obtained from the Agerolese, Burlina, Bianca Val Padana, Marchigiana, Varzese-Ottonese, Piemontese and Reggiana bovine genetic types, at 30, 60, 90 and 180 days of maturation. Marchigiana ‘caciocavallo’ was characterized by higher hardness and springiness than the other genetic types, hence requiring more chewing effort. As the maturation period increased from 30 to 180 days, hardness and chewiness increased because of higher firmness. The results suggest that it is possible to produce ‘caciocavallo’ with diversified rheological traits depending on breed, genetic type and maturation period.
