Cheese, Cheese, Baby!

If you like cheese, you're going to love this post! For most, the art of making cheese seems a bit daunting. However, ricotta is a skeptic's gateway cheese! Not technically considered a cheese, but more of a cheese by-product, homemade ricotta is easy to make and an excellent component to many favorite dishes.

From cheesecakes to pasta dishes (lasagna anyone?), homemade ricotta is as delicious as it is versatile. Here at Woolley's, we serve our house-made ricotta cheese with our Surf & Turf Dinner (Sea Scallops and Braised Lamb Shank).

Woolley's Ricotta Cheese

In a saucepan, combine milk and buttermilk.

See, we told you it was easy. Whether you enjoy your ricotta in your favorite savory dish or mouthwatering dessert, you're sure to impress your friends with your newfound cheese making skills!
