Salva (Latin for "Save ") may refer to:
Salva Cheese from Crema is a PDO table cow’s cheese, made of raw pastry, washed crust and mid-or long aging, traditionally consumed in the central plain of Lombardy and produced particularly in the area of Crema, Bergamo and Brescia.
It is also produced in the provinces of Lecco, Lodi and Milan. Salva has many similarities to quartirolo, as well as differences, like longer aging and a major aromatic complexity.
Its name come from the idea of “salvare il latte”, which is the tradition of using or saving the milk left over from the spring process of cheese-making, which is then used to produce Salva cheese. It is called Salva cremasco although it is more often produced elsewhere, because Crema was the main place of trading and consumption of this cheese, like it has occurred to other kinds of cheese (ex. Bra, Gorgonzola).
Its origins date back to the 17th and 18th centuries, when it was already possible to identify on some decorative truckles the cheese profile, which looks like a parallelepiped, with a thin crust and a pastry with very rare holes in the pastry (called "occhiature") and straw-white colour. Salva has a close connection with the seasonal transhumance that the “bergamini” (shepherds from Bergamo) undertook with their cows, coming down from the villages in the valleys of Bergamo and Brescia towards farms in the plain in autumn and ging back in spring. During these trips the milk overproduced, particurarly plentiful in spring, was transformed into "strachì da Salva", so that it could be preserved in the hot season. It seems that the warlord Bartolomeo Colleoni enjoyed this cheese so much that he had some truckles delivered during his military inspections at the fortificatios of Crema.

Gor /ˈɡɔːr/ is the parallel universe Counter-Earth setting for John Norman's extended series of sword and planet novels inspired particularly by Barsoom series and Almuric but also known for its content combining philosophy, erotica, and science fiction. The series has been variably referred to by publishers with several names including The Chronicles of Counter-Earth (Ballantine Books), The Saga of Tarl Cabot (DAW Books), Gorean Cycle (Tandem Books), Gorean Chronicles (Masquerade Books), Gorean Saga (Open Road Media), and The Counter-Earth Saga (DAW Books, for novels with a protagonist other than Tarl Cabot) whereas they are known popularly and in reverence as The Scrolls in the fandom. The customs, terminology and imagery depicted in these books inspired a Gorean subculture, with lifestyle adherents online and off. The science fiction inspired books have taken in influences from alternate genres, such as fantasy novels and other works.
In an interview with the speculative fiction anthology Polygraff, John Norman spoke at length about the creation of the Gor universe and his influences.
