Ricotta salata al forno
Ricotta salata al forno is, like all other
ricotta varieties,
a
fresh cheese
from the group of
whey cheeses.
It is made in South and Middle Italy from the
whey
of
cow milk
and salted during production. Ricotta salata al forno
has the typical blunt and conical form of the ricotta baskets.
It is sold in portions of about 1 kg. Its surface is dry and brown.
This rind is the result of baking in the oven.
The interior of the cheese is soft and spreadable. The baking results in a typical
taste
of melted, slightly salty cheese. Ricotta salata al forno is available at different
fat levels.
