Cover Story: Podolica is an ancient cattle breed subjected to protection from extinction. The scarce milk production of this breed is used for making caciocavallo Podolico, a cheese with a notable reputation. The present investigation aimed to find specific traits to protect the cheese from imitations. Variant A of α-lactalbumin, a typical characteristic of Podolica milk, was present only in 14% of the animals and cannot be used as a molecular marker. Other peculiarities, such as the low protein to fat ratio and some aroma descriptors of the cheese, could be included in a multi-functional protocol for authentication. From this perspective, suitable selection strategies for increasing the frequency of α-lactalbumin A should be evaluated. View this paper
