Ricotta di pecora massese cheese

Ricotta di pecora massese is a soft ewes' milk cheese from the Tuscan province of Massa-Carrara. Whey is heated to force the ricotta to the surface which is then collected and placed to drain in moulds that are in turn placed on wooden boards; after draining the cheese is packaged in trays. To facilitate transport and storage, it is then set on a bed of tender beech leaves and twigs which are then twisted to form a perfect wrap. It is white in colour, has a delicate flavour and weighs 300g.
