About Half skimmed ricotta
Half-skimmed ricotta is a creamy, protein-rich cheese made from the whey left over in the production of other cheeses, such as mozzarella or provolone. Originating in Italy, ricotta is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine and valued for its light texture and mild flavor. The half-skimmed variety contains less fat than traditional whole-milk ricotta, making it a lower-calorie option while retaining its nutritious qualities. It is rich in calcium, essential for strong bones, and provides a good amount of high-quality protein to support muscle repair and growth. With fewer fats than its full-fat counterpart but still a moderate presence, it can fit well into balanced diets when consumed in moderation. Commonly used in pastas, pastries, and desserts, half-skimmed ricotta offers a versatile way to add creaminess to dishes without overloading on calories. However, individuals watching sodium intake should check labels, as some varieties may contain added salt.
