We should probably have redirects from all the different spellings. I couldn't figure out how to make redirects for Romanian and Serbian, and I don't know if those characters are supported. If someone can figure it out, please do so. Dori | Talk 01:31, Mar 11, 2004 (UTC)

Sicillian is not Italian, they are separate languages, AFAIK.Bogdan | Talk 18:00, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I have found that in Bulgaria, Кашкавал (Kashkaval) is commonly used to refer to all yellow cheeses. I suspect it may be the case in other Balkan countries as well; sorry I don't have any authoritative sources. 5 November 2005
Acording to this article (http://aas.bf.uni-lj.si/zootehnika/84-2004/PDF/84-2004-1-11-15.pdf) "The origin of the name kachkaval can be found in the language of the people who most probably brought kachkaval to the Balkan Peninsula from where it spread further. In the Tzintzar language the word ˝kač˝ means cheese." and "According to the historical material (Pejić, 1956), it can be most certainly presumed that the manufacturing of cheese was brought to the Balkan Peninsula by nomadic tribes from the East. Later, the manufacturing of this cheese was brought to Italy and from there to Britain during the period of Julius Caesar. In Britain, the technology of making cheese has been adapted to climatic conditions and leading to the development of the technology for Cheddar cheese production." which contradicts the informations written in the wikipedia article. It seems more logical too because the italian name "cacciocavallo" doesn't have anything to do with cheese. The page about cacciocavallo is also wrong saying "The Italian name of the cheese caciocavallo means "Cheese on horseback" and it is sometimes thought that it was originally made from mare's milk, although there appears to be no historical evidence for this. More likely, the name derives from the fact that the curd is left to dry by placing it 'a cavallo', i.e. straddling, upon a horizontal stick or branch. [See, inter alia, [1].]" (comment posted on the kachkaval page). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.206.249.51 (talk) 13:48, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
