There are no irreplaceable: 7 cheeses to which you can find a worthy alternative

It happens that a particular cheese is indicated in a recipe, but you do not have it at hand. Or you can’t afford it. There is a way out, it turns out that many cheeses perfectly replace each other. 

How to replace Mascarpone 

  • Philadelphia, Almette, Buko, Rama Creme Bonjour
  • Processed cheese Druzhba, creamy President in trays, Viola and Violett; a mixture of cream and curd (ratio 1: 1)
  • You can also cook Marscarpone cheese at home yourself

How to replace Parmesan

  • Grana Padano, Rokiskis, Dziugas, Swiss
  • If the recipe uses grated Parmesan (for pizza or lasagne), then you can replace it with any hard cheese: Rokiskis or Dziugas (Lithuania), Swiss cheese (Altai), any Dutch or Russian hard cheese. 

You can deliciously bake fennel with parmesan cheese, as well as carrots. 

How to replace Ricotta

  • Mascarpone, Fromage Blanc, Panir
  • Cottage cheese, sour cream, tofu
  • Homemade Ricotta: Take a bag of curdled milk and freeze it in the freezer. Take out the frozen bag and cut it open. Take a saucepan, put a colander on it, put several layers of cheesecloth in a colander. Place a frozen piece of curdled milk in this colander and let it melt overnight. Overnight, the whey will run into the pan, and the curd mass will remain in the colander. Collect the cheesecloth in a knot and squeeze out the mass. The analogue of Ricotta cheese is ready. 

With such a wonderful ingredient as ricotta cheese, you can prepare the most delicious Italian Rotolo.
