Prescinseua is a fresh cow's milk cheese from Liguria, in Italy. The paste sits between yogurt and ricotta, white and a little sour, with no rind. Ligurian cooks use it more often as an ingredient than as a cheese for a board. It goes into stuffed pasta, savory pies, and sauces, and it can also be spread on bread. The flavor is quiet and tangy, so it adds body and a light acid note rather than a loud cheese taste.

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