About VV SUPREMO, REQUESON AUTHENTIC MEXICAN STYLE RICOTTA
VV Supremo Requeson is a Mexican-style fresh cheese in the ricotta tradition, made from pasteurized milk, whey, cream, and vinegar, stabilized with modified food starch, guar gum, and carrageenan, with potassium sorbate extending shelf life. Per 100 g it provides 194 calories, 11.3 g protein, 6.45 g carbohydrates, and 12.9 g fat. Requeson is a traditional Mexican fresh cheese with a loose, moist, slightly granular texture richer than standard ricotta due to the added cream. It is used as a filling for enchiladas, tamales, quesadillas, and gorditas, and as a spread on tostadas. VV Supremo is a major producer of Mexican-style cheeses for the US market. The cream addition gives this a more indulgent profile than Italian-style ricotta made from whey alone.
