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.
Open a STEP / STP part and it measures itself — volume, thinnest wall, draft and undercut checks on load, plus hole detection with a BOM. Measure, section, export STL. Rust + WASM B-rep kernel, runs in your browser.
Ricotta secca is a boundary entry, set by heat and acid, not by microbes. Whey from sheep, goat or cow cheese, with a little whole milk added, is heated to about 85–95 °C in a copper vat, and the flakes go straight into wicker or plastic moulds. The ricotta drains, is salted, and dries and ripens for 20–60 days into a hard, grating cheese.
Amounts from a sourceThe sheets describe the method village by village and give no batch size. A finished ricotta weighs 100–250 g in the Valle di Comino and the Aurunci and Ausoni hills, and 100–700 g in the Monti della Laga and the Sabina.
Whey from sheep, goat or cow cheese (pecorino, caciotta, marzolina), filtered in the vat

Ricotta secca is a boundary entry, set by heat and acid, not by microbes. Whey from sheep, goat or cow cheese, with a little whole milk added, is heated to about 85–95 °C in a copper vat, and the flakes go straight into wicker or plastic moulds. The ricotta drains, is salted, and dries and ripens for 20–60 days into a hard, grating cheese. Made in 7 steps over 28 days – 2.9 months. The longest step, ripen, takes 20 days – 2 months (Regione Lazio / ARSIAL) and runs at 14–16 °C (Regione Lazio / ARSIAL).
A salted and dried ricotta, not a fresh one. After heating at 85–95 °C it drains for up to two days, is salted, and dries and ripens 20–60 days or more, so it keeps and can be grated.
Composition
About 23% water and 71% fat in dry matter, a very hard and very fat product
Size
100–250 g in the Valle di Comino and the Aurunci and Ausoni hills, 100–700 g in the Monti della Laga and the Sabina; cylinder, tube or truncated cone by district
Season
Sheep ricotta February to October; goat October to May; cow in summer
The whey is heated to 85–95 °C, then the ricotta is salted and dried to about 23% water. The sheets mark heating, moulding, draining, salting and ripening as control points under the 2004 EU hygiene package.
The ONAF sheet says the cheese has been sold in local markets for centuries and is tied mainly to Pecorino di Picinisco. It is listed in the 1991 'Atlante dei Prodotti Tipici - I Formaggi' of the Istituto Nazionale di Sociologia Rurale, which refers only to the ricotta secca made in the province of Rieti.
