The cheese industry, however, is not just comprised of mozzarella: other cheeses made from cow's milk that are typical to the region include: Provolone del Monaco and the famous Caciocavallo Podolico. From sheep is Pecorino di Carmasciano, that displays the same gastronomical importance in taste, tradition and nutritional value.
