Ricotta Stuffed Mozzarella & Tomato Salad    8
House Cured Tomato, Aged Balsalmic, Olive Oil, Garlic Tuile

-          Ricotta – (rih-KAHT-tuh) literally meaning “re-cooked,” it is an Italian dairy product made from sheep (or cow, goat buffalo) milk whey left over from the production of cheese. Although typically referred to as ricotta cheese, it is not really a cheese because it is not product by coagulation of casein. Ricotta curds are creamy white in appearance, slightly sweet in taste and contain around 13% fat. In this form, it is somewhat similar to cottage cheese, thought considerably lighter.

          Tuile – (tweel) a thin, crisp sweet or savory cooking or wafer made of dough or cheese. Originally from France, the word Tuile means “tile,” and are supposed to resemble French roof tiles.
