Anari is a whey cheese from Cyprus. Makers heat the whey left from halloumi, and a small addition of goat or sheep milk helps the curds rise. Fresh anari is white, soft, and mild, with a grain that recalls ricotta. A salted version is dried until it becomes very hard. Both forms come from the same whey, but they do not behave the same way in the kitchen.

Ricotta means recooked. It is made by heating whey left from another cheese until the remaining proteins set into a fine, moist curd.
