[PAH-stuh fih-LAH-tuh] Italian for "spun paste," pasta filata refers to the stretched-curd cheeses made famous in Italy, such as mozzarella, provolone and caciocavallo. Such cheeses are made using a special technique whereby the curd is given a hot whey bath, then kneaded and stretched to the desired pliable consistency.
