Product Description
Ricotta Salata is one of Italy's most unusual and least understood sheep's milk cheeses. The milk curds and whey used to make this cheese are pressed and dried even before the cheese is aged, giving this pure white cheese a dense but slightly spongy texture and a salty, milky flavor -- like a dry Italian feta.
Despite its name, this is not ricotta as Americans have come to know ricotta. In Italian, ricotta simply means "recooked." It is a cheese-making process rather than a specific cheese. This ricotta is also a salata, or "salted" cheese. When fresh Ricotta goes through its natural aging process, a hard, pungent cheese, suitable for eating or grating results.
