Brocciu {also known as Brotzu) is a whey cheese produced from sheep milk or goat milk. This is notable as a substitute for lactose-rich Italian Ricotta, as brocciu does not contain lactose. Produced on the island of Corsica, Brocciu is considered the national food. Like Ricotta, it is a young white cheese and is paired frequently with Corsican white wines. The word brocciu is related to the French word "brousse" (which is in fact the name of a similar cheese made in Provence) and means fresh cheese made with goat or ewe's milk.
