Ricotta di Pecora

Ricotta di Pecora is high-quality ricotta obtained using exclusively sheep's milk whey with the addition of sheep's milk in the boiler. Made without the addition of preservatives and dyes, the ricotta with controlled humidity in the heat-sealed package makes it extremely ductile both for natural consumption and for the preparation of sweets or savory dishes.

Ricotta di Pecora is one of the most adaptable foods in the kitchen, it contains the sweet and varied notes of freshly milked milk. Now very popular for its great versatility, it is used both as a basic ingredient and as a simple frame ingredient in many innovative or traditional dishes.

Features

Ricotta di Pecora has a truncated cone shape, milk-white color, sweet and delicate taste, creamy and spongy consistency. It is packaged in a special paper wrap with various sizes. The texture is soft and slightly crumbly, the taste varies from sweet, milky to slightly salty. With Ricotta di Pecora the delicate aroma of sheep's milk is wonderfully preserved.

Ricotta di Pecora owes its traditionality and quality to the production technique, which has remained unchanged over time, and to the locally sourced milk, which gives this cheese a very typical taste and aroma. Traditional is the combination with necci, typical of the areas of the ricotta is often used for the preparation of sweet and savoury tortelli, ricotta cakes and savoury pies.

It is difficult to estimate the quantity sheep's ricotta actually produced since there are both large dairies and small production realities scattered throughout the region. An annual average of about 2000 quintals can be assumed. It is mainly destined for direct sale.

History of Ricotta di Pecora

Its original name was "Marzolino" (from "Marzo" = March), i.e. a cheese produced in March. The first mentions of pecorino toscano date back to the 15th century. They tell that first the Etruscans, later their successors, the Romans, are said to have produced something similar.

It is the Etruscans who started with the production of dairy products. The Etruscans enriched their diet with dairy products. From them, whose works can be admired in Tuscany, especially in Volterra and in the Guarnacci Museum, the Romans have taken over many things, such as the production of dairy products and the basic knowledge of their medicine. Today the production of Ricotta di Pecora is precisely regulated.

Production of Ricotta di Pecora

The traditionality of Ricotta di Pecora is linked to the particular processing technique, which has remained unchanged over time, and to the quality of the milk used. It can be eaten alone or as an ingredient in sweet or savory dishes (ricotta desserts, tortelli, savory pies).

Ricotta di Pecora is made by boiling the whey that remains after the separation of the curd together with fresh milk and salt. When the whey reaches a temperature of 90°C it begins to emerge on the surface, which is turned gently with a ladle to make it peel. The ricotta cheese formed in this way is topped and placed to drip in tiles, placed in turn on wooden planks. After draining, the ricotta is packed in trays or twigs. It is produced from November to June.

The whey obtained from milk used for the production of cheeses and not subjected to any thermal intervention is heated and deprived of all dairy residues. When the temperature reaches 55 - 65 ° C, the whey is added with whole sheep's milk, produced by Massese sheep, in a percentage of 15 - 20% of the total whey.

The outcrop part is collected with a ladle and placed in special

truncated - conical forms called "fiscelle" or "fascine". Subsequently, the chips are placed on spreading tables to eliminate excess whey and left to mature in fresh rooms for a period of 1 - 3 hours.

Pairings

It is eaten at the table, but it is also used for stuffed pasta and sweet creams. Ricotta di Pecora has a softer texture, but also a more delicate taste or smell. It is therefore not suitable for fine grating.

In the kitchen, Ricotta di Pecora is particularly suitable for filling pasta, for casseroles, but also for sweets such as cakes and pastries. The mild whey cheese ricotta wants to be accompanied gently, preferably white with lively acidity and / or a fine perlage. He likes it when his companion smells good, like white flowers or green apples and pears. Almost every delicately fresh white wine or sparkling wine aroma combines impressively with the sweet-salty sheep's milk aroma of ricotta.

Ready to be eaten within a few hours after its production “Ricotta di Pecora” embodies the rich and varied notes of sweet, fresh sheep's milk. It has a white frame with no rind, and its soft, creamy quality makes it exceptionally suitable for use in any dish, as a main ingredient or as a simple ingredient. Perfect for salads, as a filling for crepes and other desserts. Try it and have fun experiencing both the sweet and the savory flavor in many preparations.

Suggestion: Use it on crostini, salty cakes, with pasta, as filling for crepes, dessert or pure with some honey. Use your fantasy and creativity to explore new receipts.

Not effective as a cleaner

If you’re looking for a cleaner, this ain’t it. It’s about as effective as water on plastic.

An Easy DIY Headlight Restoration Kit with Strong Appeal
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
This restoration kit is appealing because it offers a way to improve cloudy or oxidized headlights without needing power tools. That makes it accessible for people who want to do the job themselves without investing in extra equipment. Cerakote also has a strong reputation in protective coatings, which gives this kit added credibility compared with generic restoration products. The biggest selling point is the promise of restoring clarity while adding a protective finish to help maintain the results. If the process is easy to follow and the wipes are effective, this can be a worthwhile DIY option for improving both appearance and nighttime visibility. For vehicle owners with faded headlights, this seems like one of the more convenient restoration approaches available.

Perfect
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Honestly one of the best headlight restoration kits I’ve used. The instructions were simple, the process was easy to follow, and the results were way better than expected. My headlights were heavily oxidized and yellow, and after using the 2000/3000 grit sanding steps with the ceramic coating, they looked almost brand new again. The ceramic finish made them crystal clear and glossy. Definitely worth the money and much better than cheap polish-only kits.

Very happy with the outcome, worked perfectly
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I was very happy with the CERAKOTE Ceramic Headlight Restoration Kit. The instructions were simple to follow, and the whole process was much easier than I expected. My headlights were cloudy and dull before using it, but after completing the steps, they looked dramatically clearer and much closer to new. The kit included everything needed, and I liked that it did not require any extra tools or complicated equipment. The results made a noticeable difference in the appearance of the vehicle, and the headlights also seem brighter at night. Overall, this is a great product that does exactly what it claims. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable and effective way to restore foggy headlights.

Highly Recommend – Amazing Results on My Honda Accords!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I recently used the Cerakote Headlight Restoration Kit on both my 2008 and 2014 Honda Accords, and I’m genuinely impressed. The headlights on both cars were badly oxidized, hazy, and yellowed from years of sun exposure. After following the kit’s instructions, they look crystal clear and almost like new again. The process is pretty straightforward and beginner-friendly. It does take roughly an hour per headlight set if you follow all the steps carefully and allow proper air drying time before the final clear coat. There’s a bit of elbow grease involved with the sanding and polishing stages, but nothing overly difficult. The kit provides everything you need, and the instructions are clear. The results are excellent! Both cars now have headlights that look factory-fresh. I’m really happy with how bright and clear they are at night. Best part? I saved a ton of money by restoring them instead of buying expensive OEM replacements. The only minor uncertainty is long-term durability (how well the clear coat holds up after a couple years of sun, weather, and car washes), but for the price and the dramatic improvement I saw, it’s absolutely worth it. I’d definitely buy this kit again if needed. Highly recommended for anyone dealing with cloudy headlights. Great product that delivers professional-looking results at a fraction of the cost!
