How Ricotta Cheese Is Made In Italy | Regional Eats

Ricotta is a very versatile cheese that can be eaten in very different ways. And, technically speaking, it’s not even really a cheese, because it comes from the liquid whey when the milk is curdled. Bigger dairies that make cheese often consider liquid whey just a leftover product and use it to feed livestock or even discard it.

But for smaller, local dairies here in Italy, it is a great opportunity to optimize their resources and get something great out of them. We visited a dairy in the town of Locorotondo, Italy, where cheesemaker Giovanni Montanaro transformed liquid whey into ricotta.

The fact that I’ve gotten so hooked over cheese making is wild

[playea]

This series is probably the best thing on youtube. Please never stop

[aroundtheworldinaprildays]

Find you a man who speaks about you as passionately as Giovanni explains the process behind cheese-making. I really like how informative this series is.

[mrsandmom]

What a nice young man. Its nice to see him care about the old ways of making this cheese.

[DanInBangkok]

Can't believe we didn't get to see. Claudia sample the final product. Extremely upset here.

[mackenzie]

Giovanni really knew his stuff and answered Claudia’s questions very thoroughly. Great episode. Too bad we couldn’t see the end product and see it being eaten :/

[threeohchris]

Giovanni: "This is my tool for making cheese"
Claudia: "I've seen bigger"
Giovanni: 👁️👄👁️

I love this show cuz she's such a good narrator how she does everything displaying everything about it

[perihangamze]

I love every video that is narrated by Claudia, she is so sweet and achieves to make everything even more interesting

[francescapucciano]

With any doubt she's the best insider food host
She's genuine, authentic in her reactions, not overreacting like her colleagues, interested in what she's talking about

[audreyn.]

Just realised how strong the Pugliese accent is. Never really paid attention to it since I used to go there every summer, I thought every Italian spoke like this. Listening to the accent difference between Claudia and Giovanni is striking. Oof, I dearly miss Puglia.

Giovanni is impressive by the way. He has this Ricotta Grand Master vibe.

[pomelogirl_]

Is it just me or is the cheesemaker also kind of charming?? 😳😂😂

[yellodragon]

First of all, Giovanni...wow! Second....he really loves what he does. I love how he started the description of each step with "It depends...".

[darya]

Chemistry between the cheese is great, but look at the chemistry between Claudia and the guy!

[xo_coco_xo]

Cheese making is actually an art! I didn't know so much went into it.

[tylerandrews]

In Sicily we once had a cheese that is still one of my favorites. They called it Primo Sale because it was a ricotta salata served fresh after the first salting. It was amazing. I would love to see how that it’s made as well.

[TheJediSlayer]

I love the way she presents cheese making

[zoboe]

What a beautiful programme. Giovanni has such casual ease about him yet he clearly loves his professional with a passionate calling. Thank you for this brilliant film!

[LailandiAdventures]

I've set myself a challenge for 2021. I'm going to make a pizza from scratch (or as much as feasibly can). So I'm going to a local farmer to get wheat to be milled, I'm going to grow my own tomatoes and learn to make Mozzarella. Now I know what I can do with the excess whey! Thanks for the great video!
