Ewe-milk ricotta from the upper valleys of Imperia is drained, packed into small lidded wooden tubs and left to sour and ferment for about a week, stirred every day. Grappa or another spirit, vinegar, olive oil and pepper or chilli go in, depending on the village. The result is a creamy, greyish, sharp spread eaten on bread.

Ewe-milk ricotta from the upper valleys of Imperia is drained, packed into small lidded wooden tubs and left to sour and ferment for about a week, stirred every day. Grappa or another spirit, vinegar, olive oil and pepper or chilli go in, depending on the village. The result is a creamy, greyish, sharp spread eaten on bread. Made in 4 steps over 7 days. The longest step, ferment in a cool cellar, stirred daily, takes 7 days (Regione Liguria (agriligurianet)). Lactobacilli, 33 strains of 10 species including Lactobacillus kefiri, L. paracasei, L. plantarum and L. paraplantarum, in Ricotta forte, a related southern Italian fermented ricotta does most of the fermenting.
It is not a cheese made from curd but ricotta left to ferment in wooden tubs, sharpened with spirit, vinegar and pepper. The Piedmont brus is related but often made from old cheese.
Other milks
A park leaflet also lists cow or goat ricotta, left to ferment in a cool, damp, dark place and stirred gently every day from the bottom up (Alpi Liguri park leaflet)
Season
Made from February to October, following the sheep's lactation (ONAF sheet)
Packing
Sold in small plastic tubs or glass or ceramic jars
It is kept in a cool cellar or a fridge while it ferments, and the ONAF sheet classes it as a fresh cheese. 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.
Early-19th-century Piedmontese and later Sanremo dialect dictionaries describe brus and brùsso as strong fermented pastes, the second as hard ricotta macerated with salt and pepper and stirred often. It fell out of use for about twenty years and returned with the Slow Food Ark of Taste listing for the Valle Arroscia brùzzo.
