The Flavor Experience
The flavor of Ricotta Salata is quite mild, typical of fresh ricotta but enhanced by aging.
The Story
Ricotta Salata is made from sheep's milk whey. The wheels are pressed into shape then cold-dried and matured to obtain the perfect grating consistency. The paste is bright white, compact and slightly crumbly.
