Ricotta is a dairy product but cannot be considered cheese. In fact, it is not made through the coagulation of milk (therefore casein), but through the coagulation of whey proteins. Whey is the liquid part of the milk that remains after the curdling process takes place. The whey proteins coagulate at a very high temperature (80-90 °C), so the whey is literally re-cooked ricotto (therefore the name ricotta). The proteins involved in this process are in particular, globulin and albumin. The old technique consisted in warming the whey and waiting for it to denaturate and therefore for the ricotta to surface. Over the centuries several other techniques have been developed, such as exploiting the saline saturation reaction, to obtain improved yield and quality.

SHAPE: the typical ricotta shape is a truncated cone.
EXTERNAL FEATURES: white with pale straw-yellow hues, and glistens slightly because of the deposits of whey. The marks of the draining mould are evident, it has no rind at all, like all very fresh dairy products.
INTERNAL FEATURES: the colour is the same as the outside while the paste is soft, slightly lumpy and it will appear differently whether we cut it with a knife, spoon or a fork, the inside is also quite moist and adhesive when cut.
AROMA: lactic and acidic scents are very evident, specially scents of yoghurt, cooked butter and whey.
TASTE: balanced, sweet with a touch of salt, the paste is adhesive on the palate at first then it delicately dissolves in the mouth.
- Food pairings:
Infinite ways to use in savory or sweet dishes, with wild cherry preserve, chestnut, or hazelnut cream.
- Wine pairings:
Pairs well with any delicate low-alcohol white wine served cool.
