Manouri is a soft white whey cheese from Thessaly, in Greece, and the name is protected. It is made from the whey of sheep's milk, goat's milk, or a mixture, often with extra milk or cream from those same animals stirred back in. The result is richer and milder than a lean drained whey cheese. There is no rind. The paste is creamy, sliceable, and only lightly salted.

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