Cheese, Ricotta Tanto Latte

It is recommended to keep cheese on a higher shelf of the refrigerator, far from food with strong odors, in order to avoid absorption of unwanted tastes and smells. In fact, the best option is to store them in a food container with lid to preserve cheese freshness and to protect from moisture, odors and possible molding in the fridge.

Ricotta should be consumed in within 3 to 4 days after open. If properly stored (placed inside covered airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags), Ricotta will maintain best quality for about 3 months in the freezer.

Because of its soft, fresh and spreadable quality, Ricotta can be eaten fresh by itself, with a salad, as a spread on toast or as a dip. Ricotta is also commonly used in lasagna recipes, cannelloni, manicotti or any kinds of filled pasta like ravioli or tortellini. Ricotta is also commonly used as a dessert cheese. It pairs wonderfully with with honey, fruit, or chocolate. Some dessert ideas using ricotta can be cannoli and cheesecake.
