Ricotta sardina

Ricotta sardina is a fresh cheese like all other ricotta varieties. It is made from the whey of cow milk. Its home is the Italian island Sardinia. The form of this cheese is very untypical for ricotta. It is conically tapered with a diameter of about 5 cm and 7 to 8 cm length. Its weight is about 200 g. Ricotta sardina has a ruffled, light yellow surface. Its whitish, slightly salted interior is soft and spreadable but firm enough to cut.
