Transform your Italian cooking with Urban Meadow Part Skim Ricotta Cheese, a versatile dairy staple that brings authentic Mediterranean flavor to your kitchen with less fat than traditional whole milk varieties.
This creamy, mild-flavored cheese features a distinctly grainy texture that makes it perfect for both sweet and savory applications. Part skim ricotta offers a lighter alternative while maintaining the rich, slightly sweet taste that Italian cuisine is famous for. Made from whey and milk, this fresh cheese serves as a cornerstone ingredient in countless traditional dishes from Italy, where it originated as a way to use every part of the milk-making process. The smooth, spreadable consistency works beautifully in layered dishes, while its ability to hold its shape when cooked makes it ideal for stuffed preparations.
In the kitchen, Urban Meadow Part Skim Ricotta shines in classic Italian recipes like lasagna, stuffed shells, and cannoli filling. Try it mixed with herbs and garlic as a pasta sauce base, or blend it with eggs and parmesan for perfect ravioli filling. Beyond Italian dishes, this ricotta works wonderfully in cheesecakes, pancakes, and as a protein-rich addition to smoothies. For best results, drain excess liquid before using in baked goods, and consider pairing it with fresh herbs like basil or thyme for savory applications. Store refrigerated and use within the recommended timeframe for optimal freshness and flavor in all your culinary creations.
