What is ricotta cheese made of?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ricotta is an Italian whey cheese made from sheep, cow, goat, or Italian water buffalo milk whey leftover from the production of other cheeses.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Making your own is easier than you think and you only need 4 ingredients! We have simplified the traditional version of making this Italian cheese but nowadays many people want to save time and like straightforward recipes. Once you start making this cheese, you will not go back to store bought ricotta!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Because it is such a quick process, we recommend you only make the exact amount required as when made fresh it is simply so much better with a great texture and flavour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The biggest difference with store bought ricotta is that you can control how wet or dry you want the end result to be. How you drain ricotta depends on your personal taste but also on what you will use the cheese for. It will need to be a little more wet for pizzas or a dip so it will spread more easily. A firmer, drier version will be better for filling cannelloni or for using in desserts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another advantage is the leftover whey that can be used in certain baking recipes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, wherever you are in the world, if you don\u2019t find the traditional Italian ricotta, you can now make it yourself! Don\u2019t forget to share your recipes with us!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
