How to make Cacioricotta

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This quick and simple fresh cheese has been made in farmhouse kitchens across Southern Italy for generations, fragrant, slightly salty, and slightly acidic, Cacioricotta has a white, crumbly paste without holes. It really showcases the character of the milk, which could be cow, goat, sheep, or a combination.
Cacioricotta can also be dried and aged to develop a stronger, tangier character with a dryer texture suitable for grating.

    Hi Gavin, my Mum would drain and press a ricotta in the fridge and then"dry" it in a very low oven for up to 12 hours - pretty much a baked ricotta - this cheese is perfect for that and makes a lovely storing cheese for grating on pasta! Thank you for awakening that memory for me!

    Just an odd question, why not make a Mongolian cheese? Like horse milk cheese. Or even more -- camel milk. Probably too expensive for either or impractical, but just an out there idea

    Could press this cheese to dry it up some and then age it for a period of time? Or go full rogue and add a tiny bit of blue culture? My brain has gone out the window on this one...lol.

    From the look of it and the fact it's a fresh cheese, it kinda reminds me of cotija or queso fresco. I'm trying to find some good fresh cheeses to try cause I have all the cheese making stuff but I have no wine fridge to use for a temperature controlled "cheese cave"

    Thanks for answering, I am trying to bring the recipe to the means I have. For 100 liters of pasteurized milk, how many grams of salt should I use? And if it is pasteurized I should use calcium right? And finally, what is the purpose of heating to 90 degrees and then lowering it? Is it necessary to do this step with pasteurized milk?

    I would have bet money that this cheese wouldn't work. I thought Jim had lost his mind when he posted it :-) I wonder how long you can get away with scalding the milk before the rennet won't work... Hmm... I suspect it would be *very* challenging with homogenised milk, though. I make lots of similar cheeses to this. Probably one of my favourite things to eat with my breakfast. It really grows on you.

    Thanks for this recipe Gavin - looks a bit similar to Queso Fresco (potentially less salty). How does this compare to Queso Fresco? I would have thought Queso Fresco tastes a bit more delicate given the milk is heated to a lower temperature of 37 C.
