With a global market of around $55 billion (in US dollars; i.e. around the 57% of the global cheese market), pasta filata cheeses sales are rising approximately 2% per year worldwide and are expected to further increase to $65.01 billion by 2028. Among these groups of cheeses, fresh pasta filata cheeses, such as mozzarella and fior di latte, are the most consumed. Herein, we provide an overview of fresh pasta filata cheeses, their commodity-related and technological aspects, focusing on the composition, the role, and evolution of their microbiota along the dairy chain.

Abstract

With a global market of around $55 billion (in US dollars; i.e. around the 57% of the global cheese market), pasta filata cheeses sales are rising approximately 2% per year worldwide and are expected to further increase to $65.01 billion by 2028. Among these groups of cheeses, fresh pasta filata cheeses, such as mozzarella and fior di latte, are the most consumed. Herein, we provide an overview of fresh pasta filata cheeses, their commodity-related and technological aspects, focusing on the composition, the role, and evolution of their microbiota along the dairy chain.
