Miceli’s Old Fashioned Ricotta-Bulk

Ricotta cheeses originated in Italy over 500 years ago and at Miceli’s, the authentic Italian tradition continues. The word ricotta translates to “re-cooked” and the name is derived from the fact that ricotta cheese is made from heating the whey from another cooked cheese. Ricotta is considered one of the healthiest cheeses. Miceli’s Ricotta is the main ingredient in traditional Italian lasagna and manicotti and is a favorite in desserts such as cassata cake and cheesecake.
