Fresh Ricotta / Paesanella

Try another multi medal award winning and delicious offering by Paesanella Cheese Manufacturers, Paesanella Fresh Ricotta.

Paesanella only uses pure cow's milk in the Neapolitan way to make our fresh ricotta. Fresh Ricotta cheese is smoother than cottage cheese but slightly grainy, is white, moist and has a mild sweet flavour.

Ricotta is a popular ingredient in many Italian recipes like Lasagna, Manicotti, Cassata, Cheesecake and dips.
