What is Ricotta Cheese and Mozzarella Cheese?
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.
Mozzarella cheese, a semi- soft cheese, is high in moisture content originally made from Italian buffalo milk by the pasta filata method.
