Buffalo Milk Ricotta

Buffalo Milk Ricotta

Everyday

Buffalo milk ricotta is a premium whey cheese traditionally made from Italian water buffalo milk, distinguished by its exceptionally creamy texture and rich flavor profile. This specialty cheese contains higher levels of protein and butterfat than cow's milk ricotta, resulting in a more luxurious mouthfeel and robust taste. Its delicate, slightly sweet character and superior moisture retention make it particularly prized in both sweet and savory Italian dishes, from cannoli to pasta fillings.
