About BEL GIOIOSO, RICOTTA SALATA ITALIAN FETA CHEESE
BelGioioso Ricotta Salata is an Italian-style pressed and salted whey cheese, distinct from the soft ricotta most American cooks know. Made from pasteurized whey and milk with vinegar and salt, it's firm enough to crumble or shave rather than scoop. Fat and protein are both solid, with a small amount of carbohydrate. Salty and dry with a mild milky flavor, it's traditionally used over pasta, salads, and grilled vegetables. The label calls it Italian feta, which gives a reasonable sense of its texture and saltiness, though the flavor is gentler.
Ingredients
PASTEURIZED WHEY, PASTEURIZED MILK, VINEGAR, SALT.
