cheese made from unheated curd
Explanation:
Se dopo la rottura la cagliata non viene cotta, il formaggio risultante viene definito di **pasta cruda**. E' questo il caso di tutti i formaggi freschi e a pasta molle e di alcuni formaggi a pasta dura e semidura, quali Bra, Raschera e Castelmagno in Italia, Laguiole in Francia, Cheddar nel Regno Unito.

This ref. is good:

And this one:

http://www.tillamookcheese.com/education/making.html

\"The curd is made up of casein and milk fat. Large stainless steel knives are used to cut the soft curd mass into 1/4 inch pieces. The temperature in the cooking vat is raised to about 100° F to aid in firming the curd and releasing moisture from the curd particles.\"

Hope that helps,
Amy

I\'m not sure whether you could use \"cheese made from unpasteurised milk\" - that was my first instinct. Having said that, I think the \"pasta cruda\" really applies to the curd and takes place at a later stage, so..?? Worth looking into.
Best,A

uncooked cheese


Explanation:
"a pasta cruda" significa che la cagliata non è stata sottoposta a cottura.

v. qualche esempio:

Cheese: Saint-Guillaume
Province: Quebec
Cheese Category:
Caracteristics: uncooked

Pressed uncooked cheese: the curds are not cooked but they may be manipulated in other ways (pitching, cheddaring) e.g. Cheddar.

note that \"curds\" (or curd) actually means \"cagliata\"
