Cheese #2. Ricotta & Fromage Blanc

 

1. Ricotta

The country of origin is Italy, and it is made from milk, sheep milk, water buffalo milk, or goat milk.

Ricotta means re-cooked. When you make cheese and heat the remaining whey, the whey protein separates, and it is ricotta that filters it out. If you add a little bit of vinegar or lemon juice, the whey protein coagulates once more, completing the ricotta. It is good to use in salads or desserts because of its soft texture. The soft sweetness and melting texture are art, and the calories and fat content are low, so you can eat healthier.

Ricotta di mucca: It’s a ricotta made of milk. This cheese is mild and is often used to make pasta, ravioli,cake, etc.

Ricotta di percora, Ricotta Romana: These are made of sheep’s milk. Ricotta is said to be best made from sheep’s milk.
