How Ricotta Cheese Is Made In Italy | Regional Eats
Ricotta is a very versatile cheese that can be eaten in very different ways. And, technically speaking, it’s not even really a cheese, because it comes from the liquid whey when the milk is curdled. Bigger dairies that make cheese often consider liquid whey just a leftover product and use it to feed livestock or even discard it.
But for smaller, local dairies here in Italy, it is a great opportunity to optimize their resources and get something great out of them. We visited a dairy in the town of Locorotondo, Italy, where cheesemaker Giovanni Montanaro transformed liquid whey into ricotta.

"Giovanni really knew his stuff," except that he ridiculously said ricotta is not a cheese ( 1:10 mark). Cheese is coagulated milk protein which, unshockingly, is the very basis of ricotta. Since the early bronze age (at least if not before) the peoples of the Italic peninsula have used the basic principle of acidifying milk to coagulate milk proteins and form curds. All ricotta does is remove some of the leftover proteins from rennet cheesemaking by recooking (being the root of ricotta) an already acidic milk product to cause some of the remaining proteins to coagulate and form curds.

@@nerofl89 In some contexts, "cheese" is used specifically to refer only to products made out of casein, which ricotta is not, as all the casein is removed in the primary cheese making stage with the rennet.
@nerofl89
7 ай бұрын
@@FakeGuthix01 You mean "highly specific contexts" and not "some." Either way, ricotta does have casein, just not as much as typical cheeses. The rennet does not remove all the casein, and most traditional recipes for ricotta include adding a portion of milk to aid in the process of removing the remaining protein in the whey.

Just realised how strong the Pugliese accent is. Never really paid attention to it since I used to go there every summer, I thought every Italian spoke like this. Listening to the accent difference between Claudia and Giovanni is striking. Oof, I dearly miss Puglia. Giovanni is impressive by the way. He has this Ricotta Grand Master vibe.

In Sicily we once had a cheese that is still one of my favorites. They called it Primo Sale because it was a ricotta salata served fresh after the first salting. It was amazing. I would love to see how that it’s made as well.

When I lived in Rome, I ate ricotta al forno as often as I could. The basket in which the ricotta was made is a sort of wicker, and when put directly into a raging fire - the burning wicker basket flavours the ricotta, which also bakes and gets something of a rind. By the way, that cheesemaker has the cutest little belly.
