About Pastizzi riccotq

Pastizzi Ricotta is a traditional Maltese pastry filled with a creamy ricotta cheese mixture. This savory snack is a beloved staple in Maltese cuisine, known for its flaky, golden crust created by layering dough with fat, similar to puff pastry. The filling typically consists of ricotta cheese seasoned lightly for a rich and smooth center. While delicious and satisfying, Pastizzi Ricotta is indulgent due to its high fat content, both from the buttery pastry and the cheese filling. It provides a good source of calcium and protein from the ricotta, but its high calorie and saturated fat levels mean it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. These pastries are often served fresh and warm from bakeries, making them a cultural comfort food with a rich heritage in Mediterranean flavors.
