Sweet Dried Ricotta 300g

The sweet dried ricotta is produced by Milk Coop is available for purchase online. The sweet dried ricotta is a classic in the kitchen, much loved grated over a nice plate of pasta or used to make a variety of recipes. The goodness of this product comes from a careful selection of raw materials. As well as from the completely artisanal processing of the milk. The milk used to obtain this special sweet dried ricotta is that of sheep and cows typical of the Irpinia pastures. And especially those that cross the area of the Picentini Mountains and the Bagnoli Plateau. Immersed in nature, these animals are free to graze in the pastures, feeding directly from the land. Their diet is carefully controlled. Not at all adulterated by chemical feed, this ensures that the milk is enriched with nutrients and unmatched organoleptic properties. The intent to bring only genuine flavours to the table, therefore, also translates into the use of traditional processing methods. According to which, with the great skill of the cheesemaker and his staff, the ricotta obtained from the whey is hand-sieved. Then left to age for about 1/6 months in special cells with controlled ventilation, humidity and temperature.

Aged ricotta

To add a further special touch, in some cases we add chili pepper to the mixture, thus obtaining spicy aged ricotta. Available in the sweet variant, the aged ricotta produced by Milk Coop has a fairly intense ivory colour and a compact texture. The sweet dried ricotta is sold online at a price of Euro 4,00 and weighs approximately 300 grams. Milk Coop is a company with ancient roots, passing down milk processing from generation to generation. It was 1800 when it all began. Since then, more than 200 years have passed and the Azienda Agricola Nigro has transformed into the Milk Coop Cooperative, joining forces with 8 members who daily supply the milk of Bagnolese sheep for the production of pecorino cheese and, for the production of other types of aged and fresh cheeses, cow's milk from the Irpinia and Sannio pastures. Years have passed but the philosophy has always remained the same: âto maintain cheesemaking as tradition dictates, always aiming to improve the ancient production techniquesâ. The milk of the Milk Coop Cooperative comes from native Campania breeds, raised with the utmost respect for their nature. On the Cooperative's farms, the animals' natural pace and rhythms of life are respected, and they are left free to choose among the countless wild grasses of their pastures. This biodiversity gives the milk they produce truly unique organoleptic and sensory properties. For this reason, the semi-hard, aged and fresh cheeses produced by the Milk Coop Cooperative are seasonal and locally sourced.
