Raw Goats Milk Ricotta — ~1 lb (Yoder Family Farms)

$7.50 · ~1 lb · From Yoder Family Farms, Trinidad CO

Raw goat milk ricotta made with two ingredients: raw goat milk and rennet. Yoder is one of two farms in Colorado grandfathered to produce and sell fresh cheese from raw milk. Most ricotta you'll find is made from pasteurized whey. This isn't that.

Raw milk ricotta is lighter, fresher, and more complex in flavor than the grocery store version. It's the kind of thing you taste once and understand why it's different.

Good for: lasagna and stuffed pasta that actually tastes like something, spreading on toast with honey, dolloping over roasted vegetables, a simple dessert with berries and a little honey, any recipe that calls for ricotta and deserves a real one.

Keep refrigerated. Use within a week. Raw milk cheese, not recommended for immunocompromised individuals. ~1 lb per container, slight variation by batch.

ABOUT YODER FAMILY FARMS 
Yoder Family Farms is in Trinidad, Colorado, about two hours south of here. They raise their own dairy goats and grow the feed for their animals on the same land. The recipe they use is Italian, inherited from Philpott Goat Dairy, where it was refined over 36 years. Yoder is one of two farms in Colorado grandfathered to sell fresh cheese made from raw goat milk. That's not a marketing claim. It's a legal status that almost no one else can make.
