- Ricotta Salata is an Italian cheese made from the whey part of sheep milk, which is pressed, salted and aged for at least 90 days. It is milky white with a firm texture and salty taste. During the seasoning, the ricotta loses 50% of water and becomes a cheese with a longer shelf life, also due to the effect of the salt.
- Salted ricotta has the shape of traditional ricotta, the straw-yellow surface, while the inside is white. It has a very characteristic taste of whey, made more intense by seasoning and is slightly salty. It is mainly used grated on pasta or other preparations.
- Use Ricotta Salata cheese to dice into salads of all kinds particularly pasta salads and spinach salads, or serve with fresh or grilled vegetables, beans or fruit. It is ideal for tossing, slicing, crumbling and grating.
