About Whipped ricotta
Whipped ricotta is a creamy and versatile dish made by blending ricotta cheese until light and airy. Originating from Italian cuisine, it’s often enhanced with ingredients like olive oil, lemon zest, honey, herbs, or garlic, depending on whether it's prepared sweet or savory. Ricotta, a cheese derived from cow, sheep, or goat milk, is relatively low in fat compared to other cheeses and is a good source of protein and calcium, which support muscle and bone health. It also contains essential nutrients like vitamin A and phosphorus. However, its nutritional profile depends on preparation—added sugar, oils, or high amounts of salt can diminish its health benefits. Whipped ricotta is commonly served as a spread on bread, a dip for vegetables, or a topping for roasted dishes, adding richness while retaining a lighter texture.
