The aim of this study was to characterize the fatty acid (FA) profile of 258 cheese samples of 18 different categories collected in the mountains and on the plains of Veneto region (Italy).

Abstract

The aim of this study was to characterize the fatty acid (FA) profile of 258 cheese samples of 18 different categories collected in the mountains and on the plains of Veneto region (Italy). From the results it was evident that, beyond the very peculiar FA profile of goat cheeses (more short-chain FAs and less MUFAs), the 3 categories of Formaggi di malga, (artisanal cheeses produced in the temporary summer farms during transhumance to Alpine pastures), were very different than the other cheese categories in relation of the much higher CLA and Omega-3 content. Two other categories of cheeses produced by permanent farms located in the mountains (Morlacco del Grappa and Monte Veronese PDO) were intermediate and two other categories of cheeses, in the past produced in the mountain areas (Asiago PDO and Montasio PDO) but nowadays produced mainly in the plains, were not distinguishable from the other cheese categories.
