RICOTTA
Ricotta cheese was originally made from whey after the curd had
been extracted from sheep's milk. It was greatly improved in the
early 19th century by a new process which produced ricotta from
whole cow's milk. The Pollio family has been manufacturing the
finest ricotta for over 150 years, passing the secret formula on from
generation to generation.
Today's Polly-0 Ricotta is a soft, moist, snowy-white treat that
handles like whipped cream, tastes like whole milk, and is often
used in the same way that cottage cheese or cream cheese is used.
It has a flavor and texture all its own, as well as nutritional value
that makes it one of the most healthful and easily digested of all
cheeses. Since 1 pound of ricotta is equivalent to 2 quarts of
whole milk, it is often recommended by doctors as a milk
substitute for infants, children and adults who are allergic to milk.
Ricotta is an excellent and easily assimilated food for expectant
mothers and convalescents. It is also available made from part
skim milk and therefore is a delightful addition to diet menus.
MOZZARELLA
Mozzarella cheese is the succulent, stretchy white cheese used
in such familiar and favorite Italian dishes as Pizza, Lasagne
and Veal Cutlets Parmigiana. Its mild and delicious favor and its
convenient "sliceable" form make it a popular "snack" cheese for
both children and adults. Polly-0 Mozzarella is as wholesome
as it is tasty - equal to 4 quarts of whole milk per pound. As with
ricotta, it is also available made from part skim milk and therefore
welcomed by dieters.
NOTE: When a recipe calls for more than 15 ounces of ricotta
cheese, purchase a 2 or 3 pund container to stretch your food
dollar.
Look for the Kosher Seal of Approval @ on Polly-0 Ricotta and
Mozzarella.

VEAL CUTLETS PARMIGIANA
4 veal cutlets (1 pound)
1/3 cup all-purpose four
1 egg, beaten
or Romano Cheese
Meat Dishes
4 servings
1/3 cup Polly-0 Bread Crumbs
Y cup olive oil
Tomato Sauce
4 slices Polly-0 Mozzarella
Preheat oven to 350
. Dip cutlets in flour, then in egg seasoned with 1 table

spoon grated cheese, salt and pepper. Then dip in bread crumbs. Heat olive oil
and butter in large skillet until it foams. Reduce heat and saute cutlets on both
sides until well browned. Place cutlets in baking dish, cover with mozzarella,
tomato sauce and a few tablespoons of grated cheese. Bake uncovered, 15 to 20
minutes.
Cooking Hint: Bread cutlets, cover with wax paper and place in refrigerator 30
minutes before cooking. This will help breading adhere to meat during cooking.
For Buying Meat
Estimate the price of meat by determining how much it
will cost per portion, rather than the cost per pound.
Meat with a great deal of bone may serve no more than
two people per pound. Boneless meat can serve four
people per pound and, in a casserole, sometimes as many
as six people per pound. After you check prices and
figure the cost per serving, you may be surprised to
discover it is sometimes very economical to buy meat,
such as veal, that sells at a relatively high price per pound.
BEEF: Look for meat that is well-marbled (flecks of fat
throughout) . Well-marbled beef will be tender, juicy, and
flavorful.
VEAL: The best veal comes from milk-fed animals under
fourteen weeks olq and is a grayish color. If milk-fed veal
is not available, veal can be tenderized by soaking it in
milk in the refrigerator overnight. Although veal should
be served well-done, avoid overcooking, which will
toughen meat.
PORK: Young tender pork is grayish-pink, firm, and has
pure white fat. Pork must always be thoroughly cooked
to an internal temperature of between 170

and 185

for
safe eating.

Some Facts About a Fine Food Tradition.
In 1899, Giuseppe Pllio emigrated to the
United States and settled in Brooklyn. He
began to process Ricotta and Mozzarella,
using the taditional open-fire methods
prevalent in Italy at the tme. Since then,
the Pollio organization has contnuously
improved its methods and products
through modern research and technol
ogy. Today it is recognized as the leading
establishment of its kind in the United
States.
In our creameries throughout the rich
grazing land of New York State, vast
quanttes of milk are processed under the
most sanitary and scientifically controlled
conditions. Consequently, the Plly-0
label is your assurance of the highest pos
sible quality. Year after year, Plly-0 prod
ucts have been awarded covted prizes in
leading dairy competitons. Today, Pllio
is the largest manufacturer of its kind in
the world, the culmination of devoted
efforts by four generatons of the Pllio
family: Giuseppe; his son Al bert; his
grandchildren Joseph and Rose; and his
greatgrandson Joseph, Jr.

orange and citron peel
2 eggs
Desserts
12 shells
% cup shortening
1 cup melted shortening
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg white
Melted shortening
Confectioners sugar
Sift flour and salt and turn into bowL Cut in shortening with fingers to mealy
consistency. Add enough water (approximately Y2 cup) to hold mixture
together. Dough should be not too hard or too soft (similar to egg noodle
dough). Knead well several minutes. Form into ball and refrigerate for 30
minutes to enable it to lose elasticity and roll out easily. Roll dough very thin on
lightly floured board into rectangular piece measuring about 28 x 24 inches. Cut
edges evenly, then cut into 4 pieces lengthwise, 28 x 6 inches. Using a brush,
spread melted shortening generously and evenly over one strip, top with se
cond strip and spread with shortening. Repeat with the third and fourth strips,
separating each strip by a layer of shortening. Let shortening cool and set. Us
ing great care, roll four strips together, as for jelly roll, starting from shorter end.
Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate about 15 minutes. Remove wax paper and
cut ends evenly using a sharp thin knife. Cut roll into 12 Y-inch pieces. (For
easier cutting, dip knife in flour before cutting dough).
Slices will resemble narrow rolls of ribbon. Place on lightly floured board and
sprinkle lightly with flour. Gently place rolling pin at center of slice and roll out
from center toward left. Return rolling pin to center and roll out from center
toward right. The slice, formerly round, will be a larger and thinner oval shape.
Gently roll again from center toward top with one stroke and from center
toward bottom with one stroke. The oval should measure about 7\2 inches at its
longest part. Place prepared oval on lightly floured board, rolled side down.
Proceed as above with the other pieces, arranging finished ovals on board, side
by side.
Prepare Filling: Preheat oven to 400
. Drain ricotta through cheese cloth until

quite dry. Place in bowl, stir in remaining ingredients and blend thoroughly.
Place a tablespoon or two of ricotta mixture on lower half of each oval, wet
edges of dough with a little egg white and fold over filling, bringing narrow edges
together to form a shell-like shape. Press edges together tightly to seal in filling.
Brush each shell with melted shortening. Bake about 15 minutes, then quickly
brush more melted shortening over shells using light, gentle strokes.
Close oven door quickly, lower heat to 350

and bake another 20 minutes.
Brush once more with shortening.
Pastries will puff up and have a beautiful golden color showing shell-like ribs or
lines. Lower heat to 250

and bake another 5 to 10 minutes. Cool on rack. When
