Description Lavorazione

From the tradition of processing milk from cows raised in the mountains, a special ricotta, hand-wrapped and dry in texture, perfect for use in fillings.

Ricotta dei Monti is born from the union of whey from cow’s milk with the addition of some cream, and it is only thanks to the use of fresh, genuine ingredients and the method of re-cooking the whey (from which the name ricotta derives, meaning “recocted”) that we can offer you the best of Italian dairy production.

The main processing stages of Ricotta dei Monti can be summarized in the following steps:

– The whey from cow’s milk is heated to a temperature of 85°C – 94°C.
– The pH is adjusted by adding acidifying substances (such as cizza, citric acid, or starter whey) when the whey begins to coagulate.
– During this phase, curds of Ricotta dei Monti emerge, which are collected using a skimmer.
– Finally, the dairy product is placed in perforated containers to allow the liquid to drain.
