I think its Parmesan. (Actually Parmesan is a very hard cheese, you can't slice it and is most commonly used grated on to dishes. )

Mozzarella in it's purest, unprocessed state is a very soft white cheese. But you're probably talking about ricotta or mascarpone. Some suspects also on Pecorino, very well kwnon soft white cheese Italian product and on Marzolino that is less popular (see here to know it: http://www.renieri.net/marzolini_e.html ) but often used withi recipes.
