Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.

Raw cow milk, sometimes thermised, is set with calf or kid rennet paste at 36–38 °C. The broken curd sours for 4–10 hours until a piece stretches in near-boiling water, then is spun and moulded by hand into an oval or a cone. After at least 6 hours in brine the cheeses are tied in pairs and hung over poles to ripen for at least 30 days. Made in 7 steps over 30 days – 31 days. The longest step, tie in pairs and hang to ripen, takes at least 30 days (European Commission 2024). Lactic bacteria of the raw milk and of the natural whey starter, which sour the curd before stretching does most of the fermenting.

What makes this one different
The PDO caciocavallo of the southern Apennines. Unlike Podolico caciocavallo it is not tied to one breed of cow, and unlike many stretched-curd cheeses it needs raw or only thermised milk and at least 30 days hanging in pairs.
Milk
Raw cow milk only, which may be thermised at the dairy to 58 °C for 30 seconds
Ripening
At least 30 days; 'extra' at least 4 months; 'gran riserva' at least 9 months
Size
From 1 kg; the specification prints the upper limit as '2500 kg', a figure that cannot be meant literally
An 1811 survey of Calabria for the Napoleonic government already praised the local caciocavalli. On the Sila plateau, before cows were kept in stalls, herders made it only in spring and summer in small wooden huts called vaccarizzi. The name comes from hanging the cheeses in pairs astride a pole.
