Ricotta Salata is a classic Italian cheese made from the whey of sheep’s milk, pressed, salted, and aged to create a firm yet creamy texture with a clean, delicate flavor. Unlike fresh ricotta, this version is dry and sliceable, with a faintly nutty and salty taste that adds richness without overpowering a dish. Its pure white interior and crumbly structure make it as beautiful as it is versatile.
Traditionally produced in Sicily, Ricotta Salata is an essential ingredient in many Mediterranean recipes. It grates beautifully over pasta alla Norma, shaves elegantly over roasted vegetables or salads, and complements grilled peaches or ripe tomatoes with its gentle salinity. Its mild profile allows it to enhance other ingredients, lending depth and balance to both savory and sweet dishes.
Whether enjoyed as a finishing touch or a centerpiece on a cheese board, Ricotta Salata brings a taste of authentic Italian simplicity to any meal — take your pic from 8-ounce portions to full 8.5-pound wheels.
- Pairings: Vermentino, Pinot Grigio, or light lagers.
