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.

Ricotta is a boundary entry, set by heat and acid, not by microbes. Sicilian whey of cow, sheep or goat, alone or mixed, gets salt and some milk of the same kinds and is heated to about 85–90 °C, with a soured farm whey (agra) added near 80 °C. The flakes rise for 15–30 minutes, are skimmed into baskets and drain on a sloping table with cold water.
The regional sheet gives the microflora as natural; a soured farm whey (agra, pH 4–4.5) helps the proteins rise.

Ricotta is a boundary entry, set by heat and acid, not by microbes. Sicilian whey of cow, sheep or goat, alone or mixed, gets salt and some milk of the same kinds and is heated to about 85–90 °C, with a soured farm whey (agra) added near 80 °C. The flakes rise for 15–30 minutes, are skimmed into baskets and drain on a sloping table with cold water. Made in 5 steps over 15 min – 30 min. The longest step, add the acid whey and let the flakes rise, takes 15–30 min (ONAF (Organizzazione Nazionale Assaggiatori F…) and runs at 85–90 °C (Regione Siciliana 2024).
The general Sicilian ricotta, made from whichever whey the dairy has, cow, sheep or goat, alone or blended, with about 10% milk added. A soured farm whey (agra) speeds the flaking. It is also the base for ricotta salata.
Size
Truncated cone of 1.0–1.5 kg, shaped by the basket
Rind
None; ivory, straw yellow when sheep or goat whey dominates
The regional sheet lists a notarial act by the notary Luca Cuccia (25 August, 14th century, index number 1601) in the Palermo state archive, and Carmelo Trasselli's study of Palermo's 1412–1440 food price lists, which gives ricotta as one of the most widely eaten foods. A priest, Gaetano Salamone, wrote down the method for sheep ricotta at the end of the 1800s.
