Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese

Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese

Everyday

Part-skim ricotta is a fresh Italian cheese made from whey and partially skimmed milk, offering a lighter alternative to whole-milk ricotta while retaining high protein and calcium content. Its creamy, slightly grainy texture and mild, milky flavor make it versatile for both savory dishes like lasagna and sweet applications such as cannoli fillings. With approximately 50% less fat than traditional ricotta, it appeals to health-conscious users seeking nutrient density without heavy creaminess.
