| | Fias Co Farm/Dairy- Ricotta cheese recipes; using whey only and whole milk |
| | Ricotta is Italian for "to cook again" or "twice cooked." It is a soft, smooth, fresh, unripened Italian cheese usually made from the whey of cow's or sheep's milk. | | | If you don't have whey and Ricotta, this bread can be made with water instead of whey, and small curd cottage cheese instead of Ricotta. | | | Ricotta is made by using heat to precipitate (separate) out the remaining albumin protein from the whey left over from making lactic acid/rennet precipitated cheeses. |
