Ricotta has been around for such a long time that its origin was lost in the midst of time, however it is estimated to have been around since the Greek and Roman time period. Ricotta is made from pure whey with no milk or cream added. Ricotta obtains a light, delicate and sweet flavour with a soft texture.

Storing and Serving Ricotta Cheese

It is recommended to keep cheese on a higher shelf of the refrigerator, far from food with strong odors, in order to avoid absorption of unwanted tastes and smells. In fact, the best option is to store them in a food container with lid to preserve cheese freshness and to protect from moisture, odors and possible moulding in the fridge.

Ricotta should be consumed in within 3 to 4 days after open. If properly stored (placed inside covered airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags), Ricotta will maintain best quality for about 3 months in the freezer.
