Goat Milk Ricotta Cheese

Goat Milk Ricotta Cheese

Everyday

Goat milk ricotta is a fresh Italian cheese traditionally made from the whey and whole milk of goats, creating a lighter texture and tangier flavor than cow's milk varieties. This soft, spreadable cheese offers easier digestibility due to goat milk's unique protein structure and lower lactose content, while providing high calcium and protein levels. Its creamy consistency with subtle grassy undertones works equally well in savory dishes like stuffed pasta and sweet dessert applications.
