What You Should Know

You'd find this in the refrigerated dairy/cheese section, often pulled for weekend brunches, lasagna night, or simple ricotta-toasts. Its short organic ingredient list and soft, curdy texture give a wholesome, comforting, slightly nostalgic feel — the creaminess comes from milk coagulation and gentle processing rather than industrial additives, though it is a transformed fresh cheese.
