Yeasty flakes of [[Ricotta|ricotta]], obtained from cooking the residue of
[[Cheesemaking|cheesemaking]] serum, for years represented the ‘poor’ product of
[[Sheep|sheep]] raising; the food which, with a piece of carasau [[Bread|bread]], was
nourishment for shepherds and farm workers on Sardinia, away from home for
months on end, tending their flocks in the countryside. There exist
several types of [[Ricotta|ricotta]] on the island, mainly linked to ovine [[Dairy|dairy]]
typology, for table or [[Grating|grating]], or for the preparation of various dishes or
[[Puddings|puddings]].

'''[[Ricotta]] gentile''', truncated cone in shape, and weighing around 1.5 to
1.8 kilos, has a fine white structure, and is soft, with a delicate taste. It
is for table use, usually shortly after production.

Various other types of [[Ricotta|ricotta]], rightly known as '''stagionate''' (ripened),
are of cylindrical, flat or conical shape, rather than round. Such
products, denser and sharper to the taste, are [[Smoked|smoked]] and [[Salted|salted]].

The [[Smoking|smoking]] of the famed '''mustia''' ([[Smoked|smoked]] [[Ricotta|ricotta]]), allows it to be
[[Preserved|preserved]] for months, as well as [[Rendering|rendering]] it suitable for use as a
[[Grating|grating]] [[Cheese|cheese]], in addition to its suitability for table use.
