About Goat Ricotta Cheese

Goat Ricotta is a fresh Italian cheese made from pasteurized goat's milk. It has a soft, creamy texture with a slightly grainy consistency typical of ricotta cheeses. The flavor is smooth and mildly sour, offering a gentle tang that sets it apart from cow's milk ricotta. This cheese is often used in both sweet and savory dishes, adding a creamy richness to pastas, desserts, and baked goods. Its fresh quality makes it a popular choice for spreading on bread or crackers. Goat Ricotta pairs well with fruits, honey, and herbs, enhancing its natural flavors.
