Ricotta Cheese is a creamy, soft cheese originating from Italy, traditionally made from whey left over from other cheese production. It’s crafted from milk, often from cows, sheep, or goats, giving it a rich, velvety texture. With a mild flavor and versatile nature, ricotta shines in both savory dishes like lasagna and sweet treats like cannoli. Packed with protein and calcium, it’s a healthier cheese choice, low in fat compared to many others. Whether dolloped on pasta or spread on toast, ricotta cheese adds a delightful touch to any meal.
