About Maltese ricotta cheese cake pastry
Maltese Ricotta Cheese Cake Pastry, known locally as “Pastizzi tal-Irkotta,” is a beloved treat from Maltese cuisine. These golden, flaky pastries are traditionally filled with a creamy ricotta cheese mixture, encased in delicate layers of puff pastry. Made with simple ingredients such as ricotta, eggs, and flour, they are a delightful blend of rich cheese flavor and buttery crust. While their origins are rooted in Malta’s centuries-old culinary heritage, Pastizzi are popular worldwide for their indulgent taste. Nutritionally, the ricotta provides a good source of protein and calcium, while the pastry's puff layers are high in calories and fats due to their butter or shortening content. Enjoying Maltese Ricotta Cheese Cake Pastries in moderation can be part of a balanced diet, offering a flavorful glimpse into Maltese culture without overindulging in their decadent richness.
