Making cheese at home gives you 100% control over the ingredients. You can choose raw milk or organic milk from local farmers, and you completely avoid all artificial additives and preservatives. The mould is cast in a robust, white plastic that is completely free of dyes and chemicals, so you can safely leave the cheese to drain and mature. Making cheese is not only a way to eat healthier, it is also an incredibly relaxing hobby that makes cooking more fun!
Did you know that the name "ricotta" literally means "cooked again"? This cheese is traditionally made from the whey (the liquid) that is left over when making other types of cheese. For example, if you have just made a fresh cheese in one of our other round cheese moulds, do not throw away the drained whey! Reheat it with a little citric acid or vinegar, and presto, you precipitate a beautiful ricotta that is absolutely perfect to strain in this very mould. Incredibly smart and sustainable!

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the ricotta mould have sloping walls?
Ricotta is a very soft and moist cheese when freshly made. The sloping walls and the dense small holes provide a gentle, passive drainage of the whey without having to press the cheese. The mould ensures that the cheese sets properly before it is turned out onto a plate.
Can I make cheese other than ricotta in it?
Absolutely! This mould is perfect for all types of soft rennet cheeses and fresh cream cheeses that just need to drip naturally under their own weight. Feel free to mix herbs, fruit pieces, or our dried wild garlic directly into the curd before filling it into the mould.
