What ricotta is made from (4)

I believe the answer is:

whey

(Other definitions for whey that I've seen before include "11 Across residue" , "Separated part of milk" , "Part of Miss Muffet's diet" , "Milk serum" , "Watery part of milk after curd separation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
