Ricotta
Product Insights
Ricotta is a pasteurised whey cheese made from cow's milk, cream and a small amount of salt, with citric acid used as an acidity regulator. It belongs to the Milk and Dairy group (cheese) and carries a Nutri-Score of C, while its NOVA classification of 4 marks it as ultra-processed, featuring moderate fat, high saturated fat points, low salt and a sugar level of 3.4 g per 100 g. The cheese offers a good protein content (7.3 g) and lower energy (approximately 147 kcal) than many cheeses, but its saturated-fat content and the presence of an additive (citric acid, E330) and dairy allergen mean it should be consumed in moderation, especially by those watching saturated fat or with milk allergies.
