Quick Answer about "Can ricotta be made with UHT milk? [duplicate]"

You can make a ricotta-like cheese with UHT milk (but not most other cheeses).

Would you be able to use UHT milk to produce ricotta?

The process works best with whole milk, but can also work with 2%. Avoid using skim and non-fat milk varieties as well as UHT ( ultra pasteurized milk), as the skim types don't have enough fat to separate into curds, and the UHT milk has been treated in a way that will stop it separating easily.

Can you use UHT to make cheese?

You can use UHT milk in cheeses that don't contain rennet, basically cheeses that are formed by adding acid to milk, allowing it to curdle, and then separating the whey. Quark, Paneer, Queso Fresco and Ricotta are all cheeses of this type.

Can ricotta be made with ultra pasteurized milk?

You can use either ultra-pasteurized or pasteurized milk. I find the difference to be minimal, but the pasteurized milk does yield a slightly more moist ricotta.

Can I use UHT milk to make mozzarella cheese?

Milk for Mozzarella: Almost any milk can be used for making mozzarella: whole, 2%, skim, cow, goat, raw, organic, or pasteurized. Pasteurized milk is fine to use, but make sure that it is not ultra high temperature (UHT) pasteurized. The proteins in UHT milk have lost their ability to set into curds.
