About ITALIAN STYLE RICOTTA LOW FAT CHEESE, ITALIAN STYLE RICOTTA
Meijer Italian Style Low Fat Ricotta Cheese is a fresh ricotta product sold under the Meijer brand at Meijer, Inc. supercenter stores across the Midwest. The ingredients are pasteurized whey and pasteurized milk as the dairy bases, vinegar as the acidulant used to coagulate the milk proteins, salt, a stabilizer blend of modified food starch, guar gum, and carrageenan, and vitamin A palmitate as a fortification nutrient. Traditional ricotta is made by re-cooking whey remaining from cheese production; the addition of pasteurized whole milk enriches the yield and improves creaminess. Vinegar provides the acidification that causes protein coagulation, replacing or supplementing the lactic acid fermentation used in traditional ricotta.
Allergens include milk from both the whey and pasteurized milk bases. Free of wheat, eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, fish, and shellfish. Gluten-free and suitable for lacto-vegetarian consumers. The stabilizer system of modified food starch, guar gum, and carrageenan provides a smoother, more homogeneous texture than unstabilized ricotta and extends shelf life by reducing syneresis (whey separation). Per 100 grams, this low-fat ricotta delivers 97 calories, 11.29 grams of protein, 4.84 grams of carbohydrates, and 4.84 grams of fat. A 62-gram serving provides approximately 60 calories. Ricotta is used in lasagna, stuffed pasta, cannoli, cheesecake, pancakes, and as a spreading cheese for toast and flatbreads.
