What is Ricotta Cheese and Strained Yogurt?
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.
Strained yogurt, Greek yogurt, yogurt cheese, labneh, is yogurt which has been strained to remove its whey, resulting in a relatively thick consistency, while preserving yogurt's distinctive, sour taste.
