Description

Description of Roman Ricotta (sheep’s milk)

Roman ricotta is a fresh dairy product made exclusively from sheep’s milk whey, processed just a few hours after cheese production. It has a compact yet creamy texture, a matte white color, and a delicate, slightly sweet flavor that is never acidic. It is not an aged cheese: it is a living product meant to be eaten fresh, reflecting an essential, everyday cuisine.

Highly perishable product. Consume within a few days of purchase. Not suitable for long journeys unless vacuum-packed or purchased in a processed version.
