Product Insights
Ricotta is a fresh Italian cheese made from whey and cream, packaged in a 240 g polypropylene tub. It belongs to the Milk and dairy products group, delivering 98 kcal, 6.4 g protein, 6.3 g fat (4.9 g saturated), 3.8 g carbohydrates (all sugars) and 0.3 g salt per 100 g; its Nutri‑Score of C and NOVA 4 classification reflect moderate nutritional quality but mark it as ultra‑processed. The cheese is low in sugar and provides a decent protein boost, yet its moderate salt level, high saturated‑fat proportion and the presence of the additive lactic acid (E270) make it unsuitable for vegan diets.
