La Casa Del Formaggio Ricotta 1Kg

Traditional Ricotta is soft and creamy with a delicate texture and pleasant slight caramel flavour. During the cheese making process, milk is set and then cut separating the curd and whey. The curd is further processed to manufacture cheeses such Bocconcini, Fresh Pecorino and Mozzarella, while the whey is used to produce the Ricotta. Extra milk is added to the whey in order to increase the creamy characteristics of this full cream Traditional Ricotta. The name Ricotta translated from Italian means ‘recooked’, thus being the case with the whey.

This ricotta is packaged in a fashella (or basket) to maintain the ricotta’s shape and freshness and sold as a 1kg unit. Ricotta will naturally expel whey throughout shelf life which is why it is packed in a strainer for convenience.
