Ravioli appear in the 14th-century cookbook The Forme of Cury under the name of rauioles.[1][2] Sicilian ravioli and Malta's ravjul may be older than northern Italy ones.[citation needed] Maltese ravjul are stuffed with irkotta, the locally produced sheep's-milk ricotta, or with gbejna, the traditional fresh sheep's-milk cheese.
