Ricotta

Ricotta is a milk product made from whey after removing the curds. Its name, literally "recooked,"
is due to the fact that the whey is heated a second time (up to 80°C).

Ricotta is used in an infinite variety of savory and sweet preparations.

 

Making Ricotta needs care and patience and a great manual skill.

Grains of ricotta come to the surface and are gathered as showed in the photos.

Ricotta is naturally low in fat and rich in proteins. The texture is much like a grainy, thick sour cream.
