About Queso ricota
Queso Ricota, or ricotta cheese, is a soft, creamy cheese originating from Italy, celebrated for its mild flavor and versatile use in both savory and sweet dishes. Made by reheating whey leftover from the production of other cheeses, ricotta is typically crafted from cow, sheep, goat, or buffalo milk. Its texture is slightly grainy yet smooth, with a delicate, milky richness. On the nutrition front, queso ricota is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting muscle repair and bone health. It is also relatively low in sodium compared to many other cheeses, making it a heart-healthier choice. However, its fat content can vary depending on whether it’s made with whole milk or a reduced-fat version. A staple in Mediterranean and Italian cuisines, ricotta is commonly used in dishes like lasagna, stuffed pasta, and desserts like cannoli, offering both nutritional benefits and culinary versatility.
