3Ricotta: The Versatile Fresh Cheese

Ricotta, meaning “recooked” in Italian, is a fresh cheese made from the whey leftover from the production of other cheeses.

It is light, creamy, and slightly sweet, with a fine, grainy texture. Ricotta is incredibly versatile and is used in both savory and sweet dishes. It is a key ingredient in lasagna, stuffed pasta, and cannoli, and can be spread on toast with honey for a simple, delicious breakfast.
