What You’ll Need

To get started, gather the following ingredients:

  • 1 quart of whole milk
  • ¼ cup of white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your homemade oven-baked grated ricotta salata:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pour the whole milk into a large saucepan and heat it over medium heat until it reaches a temperature of 180°F (82°C). Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
  3. Add the white vinegar to the heated milk, stirring gently. Continue heating and stirring for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit undisturbed for 10-15 minutes to allow the curds to form.
  5. Line a colander with cheesecloth and carefully transfer the curds into it, allowing the whey to drain.
  6. Gently fold the edges of the cheesecloth over the curds to fully cover them and place a weight on top to help press out the remaining liquid. Let it sit for about 1 hour.
  7. After an hour, remove the weight and transfer the ricotta salata, still wrapped in cheesecloth, to a baking sheet.
  8. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese has lightly browned and formed a crust.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, gently unwrap the cheesecloth and grate the ricotta salata using a fine grater.
