About Ricotta with balsamic glaze
Ricotta with Balsamic Glaze is a simple yet flavorful dish rooted in Italian cuisine. It features creamy ricotta cheese, a fresh and mild cheese made from whey, topped with a rich, tangy-sweet balsamic glaze. Often served as an appetizer or light snack, it pairs well with crusty bread, fresh fruit, or nuts. Ricotta is a good source of protein and calcium, promoting bone health and muscle repair, and is lower in fat compared to other cheeses. However, the glaze, often reduced with sugar, contributes added sweetness and calories, so it should be enjoyed in moderation. This dish is versatile, combining indulgence with nourishment, and can be customized with honey, herbs, or a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor complexity.
