Ricotta Cheese

This cheese, which dates back to the Bronze Age, is one of the world's oldest. Ricotta is an Italian curd cheese made from the whey left over from other cheese production.

Ricotta is a healthier option than most cheeses since it has less salt and fat (10% fat, of which 6% is saturated). It has a light, creamy texture with a slightly grainy texture and a delicate taste that may be used on its own or in sweet and savory dishes. Ricotta cheese is mostly made out of whey, a milk protein that contains all of the essential amino acids that humans require. Whey is easily absorbed and may help muscular growth, blood pressure control, and cholesterol reduction. You may crumble it into warm pasta for a delicious and healthy dish, or use it instead of mozzarella or other cheeses to top your pizza.
