00:00 Susan, anything cheesy becomes tasty.
00:03 Yes, Kuya Kim, that's approved by cheese lovers.
00:06 And isn't the cheese delicious, Kuya Kim?
00:09 When we say cheese, we immediately think of Italy, right?
00:12 For me, Italy, France, or Switzerland.
00:14 France.
00:15 That's different.
00:16 Don't worry, Susan.
00:17 There's a kind of Italian cheese that came from here.
00:20 And it's freshly made.
00:21 Oh, really?
00:22 Let's find out where that is in the story of Salima Refran.
00:27 Let's go there.
00:29 Mozzarella, Parmesan, and Gorgonzola.
00:33 Those are just a few of the popular cheeses that you can buy in the grocery.
00:37 But there's a kind of Italian cheese that is made in the Philippines.
00:43 Let's go to Laguna and try the freshly made ricotta cheese.
00:53 In Rocell's nature farm in Pagsanan, Laguna, they make made-to-order ricotta cheese.
01:00 I started experimenting with milk and that's where I made ricotta cheese.
01:08 Rocell went deep into dairy training to learn how to make cheese.
01:13 You should know that ricotta is an Italian soft cheese made from milk from cow, sheep, or goat.
01:22 Ricotta means "recooked" because it's made from whey or milk from milk from other cheeses.
01:32 Ricotta is often used in bread and for breakfast, like cheesecake and Italian cannoli.
01:39 It's also mixed with lasagna and ravioli.
01:42 Ricotta is softer and fatter than white cheese.
01:47 Like other cheeses, ricotta cheese starts with the milk from cow.
01:52 One cow produces an average of 7 liters per day.
01:59 Milk goes through a pasteurization process to remove the dirt.
02:04 If we're going to cook for a short time, about an hour, we use vinegar to make it whole.
02:13 You'll remove the milk and you'll have ricotta cheese.
02:21 Ricotta takes a month to mature.
02:24 I would freeze it for two hours but I don't recommend it because the texture changes.
02:32 Can it be mixed like this?
02:35 For Filipino kids, white cheese?
02:38 The texture is fine and a bit salty.
02:45 I prefer ricotta cheese because it's more flavorful.
02:58 For cheese lovers, it's time to get cheesy and taste ricotta cheese.
03:04 The country of the rain, labor of love, and the deliciousness of the Philippines is Calidad.
03:11 I'm Sanima Refrain and that's the story you should know.
