Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.

Brocciu is a boundary entry, set by heat, not by microbes. Fresh whey left from making sheep or goat cheese is heated slowly over an open flame with salt and up to a quarter of its volume of raw whole milk, until the proteins float up as soft curds at 80–90 °C. It is eaten fresh, or salted and ripened at least 21 days as brocciu passu.
Amounts from a sourceThe specification gives raw milk as at most 25 % of the whey volume, salt as 0.5 to 1 % of the starting liquid volume and drinking water as 15 %. Each cheese weighs 250 g to 3 kg, set by four mould sizes.

At a glance
Brocciu is a boundary entry, set by heat, not by microbes. Fresh whey left from making sheep or goat cheese is heated slowly over an open flame with salt and up to a quarter of its volume of raw whole milk, until the proteins float up as soft curds at 80–90 °C. It is eaten fresh, or salted and ripened at least 21 days as brocciu passu. Made in 6 steps over 22 days. The longest step, ripen (passu only), takes at least 21 days (Ministère de l'agriculture 2013). Salt is 0.5–1 % (Ministère de l'agriculture 2013).
The specification says only brocciu has salt and raw whole milk added during making, and quotes Mocquot (1983) that Savoy sérac, Jura seret and Sardinian ricotta are made from whey with no milk added. The whey is heated only over an open flame.
Milk
Whey and raw whole milk of Corsican sheep and goats only; no frozen or powdered milk or whey
Boundary
A whey cheese set by heat at 80–90 °C, not by microbes
Ripening
Fresh, or passu after at least 21 days
Size
Truncated cone of 250 g to 3 kg; at least 40 g fat per 100 g dry matter
Brocciu fraisSold fresh, soft and tender; at least 20 g dry matter per 100 g
Brocciu passuDry-salted and ripened at least 21 days; at least 35 g dry matter per 100 g
Safety
Fresh brocciu is a moist, fresh product. The specification lets the packer set its shelf life, so follow the date and storage on the label. CDC advises pregnant women, newborns, adults 65 or older and people with a weakened immune system to avoid unheated fresh soft cheeses such as queso blanco and requesón.
The specification cites Diodorus of Sicily on Corsicans living from milk, honey and meat, and a legend that Solomon gave shepherds the recipe. It cites a writer of 1886 who called brocciu the national dish of Corsica, made by shepherds in rush baskets. A 1928 US bulletin described broccio as a sour-milk cheese made in Corsica from sheep's milk, sometimes mixed with sugar and rum. It became an appellation in June 1983, when it was still classed as a dairy product rather than a cheese.
