Cheese from Italy, the Mozzarella di Bufala Campana area
Ricotta di Bufala Campana PDO
A boundary entry, set by heat rather than by microbes. Sweet whey drained from buffalo mozzarella curd, with up to 6 % buffalo milk and 5 % whey cream allowed, is heated to no more than 96 °C until the whey proteins clot. The flakes are lifted into colanders or cloths, drained and cooled to 4 °C, and the ricotta is sold fresh within 7 days or heat-treated for up to 30 days.

At a glance
A boundary entry, set by heat rather than by microbes. Sweet whey drained from buffalo mozzarella curd, with up to 6 % buffalo milk and 5 % whey cream allowed, is heated to no more than 96 °C until the whey proteins clot. The flakes are lifted into colanders or cloths, drained and cooled to 4 °C, and the ricotta is sold fresh within 7 days or heat-treated for up to 30 days. Made in 5 steps over 30 days. The longest step, cool and pack, takes up to 30 days (European Commission 2022) and runs at 4 °C (European Commission 2022).
Made only from the sweet whey of buffalo mozzarella, which is richer in fat than cow or sheep whey, with a cap on whey acidity so the ricotta stays mild. It is heat-set, not fermented.
Composition
Moisture under 80 %; fat at least 4 % (wet) and 20 % of dry matter; lactic acid at most 0.4 %; sodium at most 0.4 %
Before 2023
Moisture under 75 %, fat at least 12 % (wet) and 45 % of dry matter
FrescaOne heat treatment only; shelf life at most 7 days.
Lactose-freeMade from whey or milk whose lactose has been hydrolysed.
Safety
Fresh, rindless and unripened, so it is packed in the dairy and cooled to 4 °C. Shelf life is at most 7 days for 'fresca' and at most 30 days for ricotta heat-treated after draining.
In 1859 Achille Bruni of Naples described buffalo ricotta being made from fresh whey separated as soon as the curd was broken. The 2023 amendment lowered the fat minimum, raised the heating limit to 96 °C and extended shelf life to 30 days.
