Calabrian Smoked Ricotta
Ricotta is not really a cheese since it is made from the whey left over from the curd, which is reconstituted to bind the milk proteins. So it is more correct to consider ricotta as a dairy product, since cheese is simply coagulated milk (through rennet, an enzyme of animal or plant origin).
Smoked over aromatic wood embers, smoked sheep's milk ricotta is excellent for grating and stored up to several months.

As is often the case, these aging and maturation methods also arise from the need to preserve cheese: in fact, let's remember that cheese is a "living" food, so cheese also needs to be cared for on a daily basis. Smoking is one of many methods to preserve the product, taking advantage of the preservative properties of the process. It goes without saying that the cheese will also acquire new flavors and aromas.

When great-grandfather Luigi Guffanti began aging Gorgonzola in 1876, his genius intuition was the purchase of an abandoned silver mine in Valganna, in the province of Varese. Five generations have passed, the attention to the artisanal quality of the cheese product and the passion for careful ripening continue to characterize the Guffanti-Fiori family, consolidated to this day as one of the best ripeners in the world.
