Brocciu (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a Corsican cheese produced from a combination of milk and whey,[1] giving it some of the characteristics of whey cheese. It is produced from ewe's milk.[1] It is notable as a substitute for lactose-rich Italian Ricotta, as brocciu contains less lactose.[2]
Produced on the island of Corsica, brocciu is considered the island's most representative food. Like ricotta, it is a young white cheese and is paired frequently with Corsican white wines. It has been described as "the most famous cheese" in Corsica.[3]
The word brocciu is related to the French word brousse and means fresh cheese made with goat or ewe's milk.
