Cheese
I'm translating a website for a company that makes cheese-based products and cheese analogues.
They're talking about the ways their products can be customised, and one option is "tenacia ed elasticità".
The others are appearance, consistency and texture when hot.
I've only come across one vaguely reliable article which uses the term "tenacity" about cheese.
"The mixed casein forms powder was associated with the highest span and tenacity."
https://www.longdom.org/open-access/physicochemical-properti...
It is however used a lot in connection with bread dough, for example:
"A solid relationship or connection exists between tenacity and elasticity. Elastic dough will naturally resist the stretching action, and dough with a lot of tenacity has the tendency to retract to its initial position very quickly."

Anyone come across this term before in connection to cheese? Many thanks in advance!

firm/firmness
Nel primo caso si ottiene una cagliata piuttosto tenace ed elastica, che ben si presta ad essere spurgata dal siero e quindi a produrre formaggi a pasta semidura e dura, che possono essere stagionati anche a lungo. Nel secondo caso la cagliata è poco compatta, impalpabile, con una consistenza simile allo yogurt.

Viene consumato “da tavola”, tal quale, fino a una stagionatura di circa 4 mesi, quando la pasta, pur abbastanza tenace, è ancora piacevolmente masticabile.

I nodini, rispetto alla classica mozzarella tonda, presentano una pasta leggermente più tenace, con un certo grado di elasticità,
