What Is Ricotta Cheese?
Ricotta cheese is made with whey from excess production from other cheese-making processes. It’s made with cow, goat, sheep or water buffalo milk. The cheese is a product of coagulation which forms little pieces of cheese and is then compressed together. It can also easily be made at home. Stay tuned for my recipe.
