About ITALIAN STYLE RICOTTA WHOLE MILK CHEESE, ITALIAN STYLE RICOTTA
Meijer Italian Style Whole Milk 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 that coagulates the milk proteins, a stabilizer blend of xanthan gum, locust bean gum, and guar gum, and salt. This formulation is identical in structure to the part-skim ricotta from Meijer but uses whole milk as the dairy base, resulting in higher fat content and a richer, creamier texture and flavor. The three-gum stabilizer system maintains the smooth consistency and prevents whey separation during refrigerated storage.
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, whole-milk ricotta delivers 161 calories, 8.06 grams of protein, 6.45 grams of carbohydrates, and 11.29 grams of fat. A 62-gram serving provides approximately 100 calories. The higher fat content compared to part-skim ricotta contributes to a richer mouthfeel that is preferred in traditional Italian desserts such as cannoli, sfogliatelle, and ricotta cheesecake. In savory applications such as lasagna, baked pasta, and pizza, the whole-milk variety provides a more indulgent, creamy flavor layer. It is also used as a protein-rich spread for toast, bruschetta, and crostini topped with honey and fresh fruit.
