About LOWFAT RICOTTA CHEESE
Kroger Lowfat Ricotta Cheese is a reduced-fat Italian-style soft cheese from the Kroger brand, made using a traditional whey-based process. The ingredients are fresh whey, pasteurized part-skim milk, cream, vinegar, and salt — five ingredients with no additives, stabilizers, or artificial components. Ricotta is traditionally made from whey, a byproduct of cheese production, though modern formulations often add whole milk or part-skim milk to increase yield and enrich flavor, as is the case here.
The use of vinegar as the acid coagulant (rather than citric acid or lemon juice) is a common production method that provides a mild, clean tang. Fresh whey as the primary ingredient is authentic to traditional ricotta production. There are no gums, starches, or preservatives in this formulation, making it one of the cleaner cottage/fresh cheese products available in the category.
At 97 calories per 100 grams with 8.06 grams of protein, 4.84 grams of carbohydrates, and 4.03 grams of fat, this is a moderate-calorie, moderate-protein fresh cheese. No fiber is present. The only allergen is dairy (milk, cream, whey). This product is suitable for vegetarians as no animal rennet is used — acid coagulation via vinegar is the setting mechanism. It is a versatile ingredient for lasagna, stuffed shells, cannoli, dips, and spreads, or consumed as a high-protein snack with fruit.
