What is Ricotta Salata

Firm, aged, for grating.

Ricotta salata is a pressed, salted, and aged ricotta: unlike fresh ricotta, it becomes compact and crumbly, perfect for grating.

The ricotta salata di pecora has a savory and slightly acidic taste, while the delicate version is sweeter and softer. It is the unmissable ingredient of pasta alla Norma, but also of salads, grilled vegetables and first courses. At LAPA you will find it selected for chefs and cooking enthusiasts, always with the cold chain controlled until delivery.
