a fresh soft Italian whey cheese

Parece

recooked / ricotta

literally means 're-cooked' (from the whey leftover from other cheeses)

⚠️ La trampa

The word itself is not a false friend, but English speakers sometimes assume ricotta is just 'Italian cottage cheese'. It is similar but distinct — made from whey, not curd. Also, 'ricotta' literally means 're-cooked' which confuses learners who think it refers to a cooking method.

Para decir "literally means 're-cooked' (from the whey leftover from other cheeses)" en italiano:

ricotta (fresh whey cheese)

"ricotta" en español significa:

a fresh soft Italian whey cheese

Ejemplo

"I cannoli siciliani sono ripieni di ricotta."

"Sicilian cannoli are filled with ricotta."
