Cow's Milk Ricotta 250 g (Case 6)

Cow's Milk Ricotta

Fresh cow's milk ricotta in a 250 g tub, 6 per case. Soft, creamy and mild, it is a versatile dairy base for both sweet and savoury professional preparations, ready to use straight from the tub.

What is ricotta?

Ricotta is not a cheese but a dairy product (latticino): it is made from the whey left over from cheesemaking — from cow's whey, about 3 to 4 kg of ricotta are obtained per 100 litres. Gently heated, the whey proteins coagulate into the light, milky, slightly sweet curd we know as ricotta.

How to use it in the kitchen

Use it to fill ravioli, cannelloni and cannoli; in cheesecakes, tarts and desserts; folded into gnocchi and frittate; on pizza and bruschetta; or blended into creamy sauces. Its mild flavour carries both sweet and savoury seasonings.

Storage and logistics

Keep refrigerated at 0-4°C and use within the date on the tub; once opened, consume within a couple of days. LAPA delivers fresh Italian dairy across Switzerland — Zurich, Aargau, Zug, Schwyz, Schaffhausen, St. Gallen, Lucerne and beyond — to restaurants, pizzerias, pastry shops and hotels.
