What You Should Know

You'd spot a tub of Organic Valley Fresh Ricotta in the refrigerated dairy case, reached for during weekend grocery runs or when planning lasagna, stuffed shells or ricotta toast for brunch. It feels wholesome and comforting — creamy with a slight grainy curd texture that evokes home cooking more than indulgent decadence. The short ingredient list (organic milks, vinegar, salt) and traditional curdling/straining point to minimal industrial alteration: processed for safety and shelf use but lacking the additives typical of ultra‑processed foods.
