Story
Ricotta roughly translates to re-cooked, from Italian. Traditionally ricotta is made by heating the left-over whey from cheese making. The whey is heated until the curds rise to the top which are then hand ladled and strained to create this smooth and rich soft cheese.
Producer
In 1962, the Garofalo family purchased their first farmland in Capua Italy and started breeding Mediterranean buffalo. Their cheeses are made using traditional techniques and made in the original bufalare – a typical round masonry structure in which fresh milk was transformed into mozzarella, caciocavallo, provola and ricotta. The Garofalo family care for the welfare and nutrition of their buffaloes every single day. Everything starts within their seven farms where their animals are free to roam over 3,100 hectares of fertile land, where they cultivate corn, wheat, barley, oats, medicinal herbs, triticale and ryegrass. The care taken with the land, buffaloes and cheese making process is evident in all the cheeses they produce.
