What is Ricotta Cheese and Clabber?
What is
- Ricotta is an Italian whey cheese made from sheep or cow, goat, or Italian water buffalo milk whey left over from the production of cheese.
- Like other whey cheeses, it is made by coagulating the proteins that remain after the casein has been used to make cheese, notably albumin and globulin.
Clabber is a food produced by allowing unpasteurized milk to turn sour at a specific humidity and temperature. Over time, the milk thickens or curdles into a yogurt-like substance with a strong, sour flavor.
