Ricotta is a boundary entry, set by heat and acid, not by microbes. Whey left from cow-milk cheesemaking is heated to 85–89 °C, then acid whey, wine vinegar or magnesium sulphate is added so the whey proteins rise as white flakes. The ricotta drains in baskets for about eight hours and is eaten within three days, or smoked for about a week into a firmer, brown-crusted poìna fumàda.

At a glance
Ricotta is a boundary entry, set by heat and acid, not by microbes. Whey left from cow-milk cheesemaking is heated to 85–89 °C, then acid whey, wine vinegar or magnesium sulphate is added so the whey proteins rise as white flakes. The ricotta drains in baskets for about eight hours and is eaten within three days, or smoked for about a week into a firmer, brown-crusted poìna fumàda. Made in 6 steps over 7.3 days. The longest step, smoke (poìna fumàda), takes 7 days (Provincia autonoma di Trento 2013).
The Trentino sheet allows three ways to set the whey - sour whey (agro), wine vinegar or magnesium sulphate. Trotter (1979) says the smoked, aged poìna served as a grana-type cheese when grana was still unknown there.
Shape and size
Truncated cone, 200–1,500 g
Fresh
No rind; bright white, soft and crumbly with small holes; made all year
Smoked
Thin brown crust; firmer smoke-yellow paste; made in summer
Ricotta fresca (poìna)Eaten within three days; made all year.
Ricotta affumicata (poìna fumàda, enfumegada)Smoked about a week; firmer, brown-crusted, longer-keeping; summer only.
Safety
The PAT sheet says fresh ricotta is kept in a cool place or a cold room at 4 °C for up to three days. The other way to keep it is smoking for about a week.
The PAT sheet quotes an 1898 statistic, reported by Cesare Battisti in 1912, in which the 42 summer dairies of Primiero recorded ricotta alongside butter and cheese. Corrado Trotter (1979) described two kinds of poìna, a soft goat one and a smoked, aged one that served as grana cheese when grana was still unknown there. Lease contracts for summer pastures required a share of poìna for the local hospice. R. M. Grosselli (1989) notes that when the village rotating and social dairies stopped, they passed their traditions and knowledge to the Primiero district social dairy.
