A delightful dichotomy of flavors: rich but light with a mild, slightly sweet essence. Ricotta cheese was originally produced to make full use of all of the proteins in the cow's milk used in the production of cheeses like Mozzarella. To strip the remaining proteins, the leftover whey was “re-cooked” (“ricotta” in Italian) resulting in a soft, creamy texture that is slightly grainy.
