Whey cheese made from cow's milk. It is a basin-shaped cheese, pure white and wet but not sticky. Good Ricotta should be firm, not solid and consist of a mass of fine, moist, delicate grains, neither salted nor ripened.

Price per Pound: $4.19
Production Period: Year-round
Ripening: none.
Use: Works well in all ricotta applications (lasagna, ziti, manicotti, ravioli, etc.). Calabra's dryness prevents need to counter-compensate.
