Abstract
In the method of the invention, skim milk is transferred to a setting tank. The skim milk is acidified and heated to provide a coagulum in whey. The coagulum is separated from the whey and blended with a sufficient amount of cream to provide a mixture having the desired fat level in the finished Ricotta cheese. The mixture is then comminuted to provide a Ricotta cheese product having a texture similar to that associated with Ricotta cheese produced by conventional cheesemaking techniques.
