Buffalo Ricotta

Indulge yourself to a delicious gourmet offering of Paesanella Buffalo Ricotta. The fresh unripened Buffalo Ricotta cheese is smoother and creamier than cottage cheese or cow milk ricotta cheese. There are no grainy characteristics, it is bright white in colour, it is moist and has a strong sweet flavour when compared to regular cow variety whey based ricottas.

Paesanella uses a combination of buffalo whey and buffalo milk in the traditional Italian Neapolitan way to make this sensational cheese.

Buffalo Ricotta is the gourmet alternative to regular cow milk ricotta and is a popular ingredient in many Italian recipes like Lasagna, Manicotti, Cassata, sandwich filling, deserts or simply eaten on its own using a slice of crusty Italian style breads and drizzled with olive oil.
