It is made from lightly salted sheep's milk curd that is pressed and dried, then aged for a minimum of three months. Ricotta Salata has a supple, mild taste. It's not at all "sheepy" or salty, but rather has a nutty, sweet milky flavor. Extremely versatile, Ricotta Salata can be used in salads and pasta dishes and is ideal for grating.Made from pasteurized sheep's milk.Photo depicts whole 9 lb. form of cheese. Review: Ricotta Salatta...MULTO BUONO!!! - All of the local supermarkets in my area have ceased to carry this wonderful cheese. I was asleep at the switch when I discovered such a huge price differential compared to the local markets. My mother was born in Sicily and this was her favorite cheese. I like it with eggplant fried in olive oil with a marinara sauce, linguine and fresh basil. Of course the Ricotta Salatta is grated over the top. MULTO BUONO!!! The cheese arrived in a cold pack, still very cold to the touch. We divided the round into 1/8 pound wedges and put all but one where each in the freezer. It thaws easily and nicely. I would highly recommend this cheese to anyone who likes cheese. Review: Moldy - The cheese was moldy... I had to throw it away. It was like throwing $65.00 in the garbage. I was planning on using the Ricotta Salata to make Pasta alla Norma. ## Features - Imported from Italy - Made from lightly salted sheep's milk - Extremely versatile, Ricotta Salata can be used in salads and pasta dishes and is ideal for grating - A wonderful cheese to add to an antipasti platter or to snack on all on its own ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005O6PKYG | | Best Sellers Rank | #180,972 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #22 in Ricotta Cheese | | Brand | Zerto | | Brand Name | Zerto | | Cuisine | Italian | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 27 Reviews | | Flavor | Nutty | | Item Weight | 9 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Zerto | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | Ricotta Salata by Zerto - Whole Wheel (8 | | Size | 9 pound - Pack of 1 | | Unit Count | 128 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Zerto - **Flavor:** Nutty - **Item Weight:** 8 Pounds - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 128 Fluid Ounces ## Images ![Ricotta Salata Whole Wheel (9 pound) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41AJwW+x+UL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this a good cheese for lasagna?** A: I use it for lasagne, works great and tastes good, can not eat cows milk cheese. **Q: is this the ricotta best for cannoli filling?** A: No, this is a dry salted ricotta.
