About ITALIAN STYLE RICOTTA PART-SKIM CHEESE, ITALIAN STYLE RICOTTA
Meijer Italian Style Part-Skim 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 protein bases, vinegar as the coagulating acidulant, a stabilizer blend of xanthan gum, locust bean gum, and guar gum, and salt. This formulation uses a three-gum stabilizer system rather than the modified food starch and carrageenan combination seen in the low-fat variant, resulting in a slightly different texture profile. Xanthan gum and guar gum together create a cohesive gel network, while locust bean gum (carob bean gum) contributes synergistic thickening. No artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives are present.
Allergens include milk. Free of wheat, eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, fish, and shellfish. Gluten-free and lacto-vegetarian compatible. Not vegan. Per 100 grams, part-skim ricotta delivers 145 calories, 9.68 grams of protein, 4.84 grams of carbohydrates, and 8.06 grams of fat. A 62-gram serving provides approximately 90 calories and 6 grams of protein. The part-skim designation indicates a fat content between the low-fat and whole-milk varieties. Part-skim ricotta is a versatile cooking cheese used in lasagna, stuffed shells, manicotti, pizza toppings, cheesecake, Italian pastries, and as a high-protein spread. Its relatively high protein and moderate fat content makes it a nutritious component in both savory and sweet applications.
