RICOTTA CHEESE / HOMEMADE QUEEN. - Frabisa's Kitchen Frabisa's Kitchen
Is it worth making ricotta or cottage cheese at home?
However, making this type of preparation at home does not seek so much savings but rather the personal satisfaction of seeing how the miracle of having almost a kilo of cheese occurs when a while before we only had milk.
What is not in doubt is that the quality of the result is incredible, we have a very unctuous, rich cheese, full of flavour, ideal to take with honey, quince, to use as powerful fillings and with personality.
On the other hand, we can let our tastes fly and make a special ricotta and enrich with garlic and onion powder, oregano, a pinch of chilli, parsley, even paprika.
What do we need to make cheese at home?
No special "equipment" is needed, you will only need a kitchen strainer, the one you use for pasta and a cotton kitchen towel, with that you will be able to manage to make this cheese.
Of course, if you have a kitchen thermometer, that would be great, but if you don't, I'll also explain how to do it.
I got the ingredients for this recipe from GIRLMy reference supermarket where I find the best quality.
