About Ricotta salata
Ricotta Salata is a versatile Italian cheese renowned for its delicate taste and crumbly texture. Unlike fresh ricotta, Ricotta Salata is pressed, salted, and aged, resulting in a firm cheese with a mild, nutty flavor. Made predominantly from sheep’s milk, it boasts a high protein content and is a good source of calcium, supporting bone health. Low in lactose compared to other cheeses, it's often easier to digest for those with lactose sensitivity. However, Ricotta Salata contains significant sodium, so moderation is advised for those monitoring their salt intake. This cheese is often used in Mediterranean cuisine, providing a flavorful topping for salads, pasta, and vegetables. Its subtle creaminess enhances dishes without overpowering them, while its nutritional profile aligns with balanced diets when consumed in mindful portions.
