Cheese Highlight : Salty Ricotta

Salty Ricotta is a type of traditional Italian cheese made by re-cooking the leftover whey from the production of other cheeses. The name "ricotta" itself comes from the Latin word recocta, meaning "cooked again," referring to the unique process that sets this cheese apart. Its texture is firm yet still soft, with a distinct salty flavor and a light milky aroma. This traditional method of production creates a cheese rich in character, making it a special choice for various dishes.

What makes salty ricotta unique is its ability to pair beautifully with natural sweetness, such as that found in raisins. The combination of the cheese's saltiness and the raisins’ sweetness creates a harmonious flavor that delights the palate, perfect as a simple snack, a salad topping, or an accompaniment to Mediterranean style desserts. Salty ricotta is not just about taste, but also about tradition, balance, and a new way to enjoy cheese in everyday life.
