How it's made	The procedure for producing Ragusano PDO follows an ancient tradition. To make this cheese, the milk from one or more milkings is left to curdle The curd is then reduced into small pieces using the 'iaruozzu' a wooden rod that ends in a disc and is pressed to encourage sponging. The paste treated with the ricotta liquid or water at 80°C is then covered to avoid sudden drops in temperature and left to rest for 85 minutes. Drying takes place by depositing the curd in 'vasceddi' the small baskets from which the whey is dripped. A second cooking is then carried out, again at 80°C, and the curd is left to rest. After fermentation, the dense paste is cut into slices and placed in the sieve where it is treated with hot water to make it stringy for no longer than eight minutes. The cheese is matured in special moulds in dry cells with controlled temperature and humidity.
