Ricotta Salata Sheep Milk Cheese 10lb (4.6kg)
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 a unique and often misunderstood cheese in Italy, with a milky white color, firm texture, and a salty taste. The words "Ricotta" mean "re-cooked," and "Salata" means "salted."
During the seasoning process, the ricotta loses approximately 50% of its water content, resulting in a cheese with a longer shelf life, further enhanced by the effect of the salt. Salted ricotta has the shape of traditional ricotta, with a straw-yellow surface and a white interior. It possesses a very characteristic whey flavor, made more intense by the seasoning, and a slightly salty taste.
This cheese is primarily used grated on pasta or other preparations, but it can also be diced into salads of all kinds, particularly pasta and spinach salads. Ricotta Salata is an ideal ingredient for tossing, slicing, crumbling, and grating, and it can be served alongside fresh or grilled vegetables, beans, or fruit.
The cheese is wrapped in protective plastic to ensure freshness and is cut daily. During transportation, ice packs may melt, so it is recommended to refrigerate the cheese upon delivery.
This 10-pound (4.6 kg) Ricotta Salata is a product of Italy, where it is one of the country's most unusual and least understood sheep's milk cheeses. The aging process of at least 90 days contributes to the development of its unique characteristics, making it a versatile and flavorful addition to various culinary preparations.
Whether you are looking to elevate your pasta dishes, add a distinctive touch to your salads, or simply enjoy the rich, salty taste of a traditional Italian cheese, Ricotta Salata is a remarkable choice that is sure to impress.
