Urgent!

I've tried to find 'recuit' and came up with 'annealed' which I can't find any references for so obviously not a commonly used term.

Thanks Rick! It was obviously said tongue in cheek but it would be very helpful.
Rick Larg Sep 23, 2010:
Excellent Idea from Isamar .
Isamar Sep 23, 2010:
Perhaps we should suggest that translators get to sample what they have to translate in order to deliver a more accurate product!

Thanks to everybody for the speedy help :)

Hi all I actually had to send off the file 10 mins ago and went for 'ricotta':

Ricotta is usually made from whey, and is the by-product of the manufacture of other cheeses such as provolone.
Different versions of ricotta are made all over Europe. There is Ziger from the Alps, French Recuit, and Corsican
Broccio. The Corsican variety is made from goat’s or ewe’s milk whey boiled with whole milk. Broccio has the
flavor of the wild herbs and heathers that the animals graze on.

Requesón/Ricotta ice cream

Ricotta is better known I think than requesón by English speakers. The equivalent is cottage cheese as Joshua says, but the texture is different.

I should point out: I'm not sure if "recuit" is "cuajada" or "requesón" in Spanish. I'm also not sure what the difference is between them. :-) I considered other options for similar foods in English (e.g. custard, and apparently there's also something called "junket"), but decided cottage cheese was perhaps the closest.

Note that the link on this Catalan webpage for "recuit" links to "cuajada," not "requesón," although the information I sent you above from termcat.cat translated "recuit" as "requesón."

The termcat.cat site apparently doesn't differentiate much between "recuit" and "mató" or "requesón" and "cuajada"...

When I searched for mató, I found:
ca mató, m
ca brossat, m sin. compl.
ca brull, m sin. compl.
ca recuit, m sin. compl.
es cuajada
es requesón
fr caillé
fr fromage blanc
en cottage cheese
en curd
en milk curd
de Quark
Definicions
ca: Massa blanca i mantegosa que resulta de la coagulació de la part caseosa de la llet.

I found a bit more information about the differences between the above in the book "El gust d'un poble: els plats més famosos de la cuina catalana" on google books, page 261. Apparently recuit is also made from curdled milk but is smoother and creamier than mató, and eaten with a spoon, often from a small clay serving pot. Recuit is common in Girona and Osona.

Thanks, James!
agree Isamar : It's true, it's the same process but the texture somehow is lumpier wouldn't you say?

Exactly. I've never liked cottage cheese because of the lumps...:-) ...but I imagine these disappear when you turn it into ice cream! Maybe I'd like it in that form!
