Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese

Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese

Everyday

Whole milk ricotta cheese is a fresh Italian dairy product made by recooking the whey left from cheesemaking, blended with whole milk for a richer texture and higher fat content than skim varieties. Its mild, slightly sweet flavor and creamy yet granular consistency make it ideal for both savory dishes like lasagna and sweet applications such as cannoli filling. This version provides more calcium and protein per serving compared to low-fat ricotta, while maintaining versatility across cooking and baking uses.
