Why Ricotta is NOT a Cheese | Inside a Dairy in Rome | Claudia Romeo

Ricotta is not actually not a cheese, but a byproduct of cheese production. In this video we’re going to see how ricotta is made with the leftover whey of Caciofiore cheese production, a sheep’s milk cheese made with a 2,000 year old Roman recipe. I visited L’Isola del Formaggio, a dairy in Bracciano, Italy to learn more about ricotta from cheesemakers father and son Sergio and Luigi.
