The ricotta is an italian cheese made by cooking the whey (liquid byproduct of the cheese production), by cooking it at an high temperature (80-90°C), hence the name "ricotta", which means "cooked again".

Ingredients

  • thermometer
  • 1 cheesecloth
  • 1 cheese recipient
  • 2l of whey
  • 500ml of milk
  • 10g of table salt
  • 6g of citric acid (contained in 130ml of lemon juice)

Directions

Preparation

Pour the milk, the whey and the salt into a pot, stir it well, and heat it up to 80°C. Once the temperature has been reached, add the citric acid (or lemon juice) and stir well.
