About Ricotta fresca
Ricotta Fresca is a soft, creamy cheese with Italian origins, traditionally made from the whey left over after producing cheeses like mozzarella or provolone. This fresh variety is known for its mild, slightly sweet flavor and smooth texture, making it a versatile ingredient in both savory and sweet dishes. Ricotta Fresca is typically made from cow’s, sheep’s, or goat’s milk and provides a rich source of protein, calcium, and essential nutrients. Low in fats compared to aged cheeses, it is a lighter option that supports bone health and muscle repair. However, it can be high in sodium depending on preparation, so moderating intake is recommended for those watching their salt levels. Commonly used in dishes like lasagna, stuffed pasta, or desserts such as cannoli, Ricotta Fresca is a staple in Italian cuisine and loved worldwide for its freshness and creamy profile.
