Ricotta
a cheese produced in Italy using leftover ingredients from other cheeses. It is formed by coagulating the leftover proteins—most notably albumin and globulin—after the casein has been utilized to make cheese, just like other whey cheeses. If additional fermentation is permitted to make the whey more acidic, then ricotta protein can be extracted. The acidified whey is next brought almost to a boil. Low pH and high temperature together denature the protein, causing it to flocculate and form a fine curd. The liquid is separated from the curd once it has cooled by being passed through a thin cloth.
Ricotta curds have a creamy white color and a taste that is slightly sweet. The type of milk used affects the fat content. In this state, its texture is somewhat like to some varieties of fresh cheese, but somewhat lighter. It is incredibly perishing. But aged kinds of ricotta are also produced, and these keep much longer.
Ricotta can be served as a dessert after being smoothed out and combined with toppings like sugar, cinnamon, orange blossom water, strawberries, and sometimes even chocolate shavings. This same fundamental combination appears prominently in Palermo’s cassata, topped with cake pieces and used as the filling for Sicilian cannoli.
Taleggio cheese
Named after Val Taleggio, it is a semisoft, washed-rind, smear-ripened Italian cheese. The cheese has a thin crust, a potent fragrance, and a rather moderate flavor with an odd fruity tang. In autumn and winter each year, the production takes place. Rennet extracted from milk calves is first combined with acidified milk. The cheese matures in six to ten weeks when it is placed on wood shelves in chambers, occasionally in caves per custom. To keep mold from growing and to create an orange or rose crust, it is cleaned once a week using a marine sponge.
