About Cotta
Cotta is a soft, fresh cheese originating from Italian cuisine, prized for its mild, creamy flavor and versatile usage. Traditionally made from cow's milk, it is similar to ricotta but differs in preparation methods and texture, often presenting a dense yet smooth consistency. Nutritionally, Cotta is high in protein and calcium, supporting muscle growth and bone health. It is relatively low in calories, making it a favorable option for lighter meals or snacks. However, like many dairy products, Cotta can be high in saturated fat depending on the milk used, so moderation is advised for those managing cholesterol levels. Ideal in savory dishes, spreads, or desserts, Cotta adds richness without overpowering other ingredients, making it a celebrated staple in both traditional Italian and contemporary recipes. Its adaptability and nutritional benefits have elevated its status in global culinary practices.
