COW MILK
RICOTTA DI MUCCA
Typology:
cow milk
Origin:
a typically Italian product, it can be found in several regions; Mr. Copelli chose a small dairy in the Po Valley, where the whey comes from the processing of high quality cheeses, produced exclusively with milk collected in local stables.
Product description:
ricotta has a typical truncated cone shape; it does not have a crust, it has a homogeneous paste, a more or less compact flake structure; it is white, crumbly, with a sweet and delicate taste. It is eaten fresh, alone or accompanied by mustards and is also used as an ingredient in the preparation of many recipes (sweet and savory pies and stuffed pasta)..
Special features / curiosity:
already known and consumed in ancient Greece and Rome, ricotta cheese has traveled through history up to the present day, taking on different names according to the place of production: "puina" in Lombardy, "seiràs" in Piedmont, "re-cocta" in the regions of Central and Southern Italy. The term "ricotta" derives from the Latin word "recoctus", that is "twice cooked"; in fact, it is obtained by heating the residual whey of the processing that has already been cooked for the production of cheese.
