The name ricotta means 'recooked' and it is traditionally a poor mans cheese made from the left over whey from the first cheese making. The whey is heated and the few remaining curds that rise to the surface are skimmed off as ricotta. It is a low fat cheese with a fat content of only 20% and is eaten fresh in many different recipes. |
