Food & Drink
I know that there is an existing KudoZ for fiordilatte as an ice-cream flavour, but in my source text it is an ingredient for a pasta sauce. Any ideas on how to translate it, or whether it is even available in English-speaking countries? If it isn't, what would be an acceptable equivalent ingredient?

'fiordilatte'
essendo un ingradiente tipicamente italiano potresti lasciarlo così, magari mettendo tra parentesi (type of fresh milk cheese) >dal Garzanti...

fior di latte
Il fior di latte è un formaggio fresco molle a pasta filata, ottenuto con latte intero di vacca con una tecnica simile a quella della mozzarella, originario di Campania e Puglia. [...]
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiordilatte
I'd say "fresh cow's milk mozzarella (fior di latte)" or something along these lines...

: I'd keep the Italian with EN description in brackets - see Oxford Paravia definition: moist, fresh cow’s milk cheese similar to mozzarella

: absolutely, fior di latte is SIMILAR to mozzarella, but not the same thing, I think it's important to leave the original and explain it, as suggested by Chiara and Ivana.

mozarella cheese
Visto che perfino in Italia lo chiamiamo spesso 'mozzarella' e che è l'equivalente a base di latte di mucca della mozzarella, se ti trovi in un contesto divulgativo e vuoi semplificare la comprensione, usa 'mozzarella cheese'.

stretched-curd cheese
I would leave as is with an explanation
fiordilatte (stretched-curd cheese)
streched-curd cheese is the technical english term for this type of cheese as referred to in the links- this is from the first link:
"Italy's famous stretched-CURD cheeses. They're made using a special technique whereby the CURD is given a hot WHEY bath, then kneaded and stretched to the desired pliable consistency. Among the pasta filata cheeses are MOZZARELLA, PROVOLONE and CACIOCAVALLO."

An american equivalent (generally speaking) is string cheese
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_cheese:
A non-traditional but popular processed cheese product called "string cheese" is currently sold in the United States. This form of "string cheese" is roughly cylindrical, about 6 inches (15 cm) long and less than 1 inch (2 cm) in diameter. The cheese is cut and packaged, either individually or as a package of several lengths. The cheese product used is nearly always a form of mozzarella but may be another semi-soft cheese. This type of string cheese is eaten by pulling strips of cheese from the cylinder along its length and eating these strings. Due to the amount of processing, this processed form of string cheese is quite high in salt and hence is not recommended to be eaten in large quantities.[citation needed]
