Aromanian language
Another theory exists. Some researchers from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Belgrade claim the Aromanian population, a native Balkan people, created cașcaval. As in Romanian, the word caș means in Aromanian language "cheese". Balkan etymology is given for the suffix -kaval in the word kachkaval in the study, nor do the researchers mention the horse, the Latin term "caballus" or even the Italian term "cavallo" and instead refer to the seasonal movement of the semi nomadic Vlachs and their livestock between fixed summer and winter pastures (transhumance).
