About IL GIARDINO, RICOTTA SALATA CHEESE, SHEEP'S MILK CHEESE
Il Giardino Ricotta Salata is a firm, pressed sheep's milk cheese originating from the Italian tradition. Made from sheep's milk whey with salt, enzymes, and cheese cultures, per 100 g it provides 286 calories, 14.3 g protein, 21.4 g fat, and 7.1 g carbohydrates. It contains no fiber. The pressing and salting process removes moisture and produces a dense, slightly crumbly texture with a clean, salty, mildly tangy flavor distinct from fresh ricotta. It is commonly grated or crumbled over pasta, salads, and roasted vegetables. As a sheep's milk product, it is not suitable for those with dairy allergies but may be tolerated by some with cow's milk sensitivities.
