The name Ricotta means re-cooked in Italian and comes from the making process of it. It is a very low fat dairy product made from cheese whey only: once the cheese is made the left over whey is re-heated bringing to the surface a fluffy and light curd: the Ricotta.
To allow an ongoing draining process ricotta is usually packed in little basket, enhancing its typical texture!
