Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.

Sicilian cow ricotta is a boundary entry, set by heat and acid, not by microbes. Cow whey with salt and a little milk is heated in a tinned copper cauldron to about 90 °C, helped by a splash of soured whey (agra), until the ricotta rises. It is ladled into baskets that drain on a sloping table in cold water, and is eaten fresh or salted and dried as ricotta salata.

Starter
The regional sheet gives the microflora as natural; a soured farm whey (agra) helps the proteins rise.

Sicilian cow ricotta is a boundary entry, set by heat and acid, not by microbes. Cow whey with salt and a little milk is heated in a tinned copper cauldron to about 90 °C, helped by a splash of soured whey (agra), until the ricotta rises. It is ladled into baskets that drain on a sloping table in cold water, and is eaten fresh or salted and dried as ricotta salata. Made in 5 steps over 15 min – 30 min. The longest step, add agra and let the ricotta rise, takes 15–30 min (ONAF (Organizzazione Nazionale Assaggiatori F…) and runs at 85–90 °C (Regione Siciliana 2024).
Made from cow whey, enriched with milk and salt in the cauldron and helped to set with soured whey; the baskets drain on a table of cold water. It can be turned into ricotta salata.
Ricotta salata
It may also be salted and kept up to 2 months on wooden boards in natural rooms
The regional sheet cites the historian Antonino Uccello on ricotta making and its tools, and Carmelo Trasselli's study of the Palermo price lists of 1412–1440, where ricotta was among the most eaten foods.
