Product Description

The Rio Briati brand guarantees the finest quality Italian and Italian-style cheeses available. This whole milk ricotta is made from local, farm fresh milk. It has a delicate, creamy texture and sweet, rich milky and buttery flavor. Ricotta can be eaten as is with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil, although it is more commonly used in Italian pasta dishes and desserts. Ricotta is a favorite in Lasagne, Cannelloni, Manicotti, and in all filled pastas such as Ravioli and Tortellini. It's also a classic ingredient in cannoli filling and makes an amazing dessert drizzled with honey. Gluten-free.

Better than Galbani

Better than Galbani
I have been using Ricotta to make lasagna for decades. I've used Galbani mostly but this brand is straight up better. It has simpler ingredients (no Xanthan Gum, Locust Bean Gum, Guar Gum like Galbani) and a better flavor. Highly recommended if you're making a lasagna (or lasagna soup, which is a current trend for a reason! Look up Chef John's lasagna soup recipe!).

I never do reviews - but wow. It is the real authentic flavor that reminded me of products made 50 years ago - more pure - just fantastic. I see their recipe for toast with this and jam. If you can do dairy products, please try this for the joy of eating.

This is the best rigott I’ve ever used. Perfect texture, a joy to cook with or eat straight from the tub, and it’s whey-free. I can make lasagna for whey-allergy family members no problem.

To us real ricotta cheese makes all the difference in a pasta bake. It adds creamy richness that offsets the sharpness of tomato sauce. This brand has no added "stabilizers" (locust bean gum and/or guar gum) like other ricotta products yet the cost is comparable. Will buy again!

I added a little in between on layer but the dollops on top at end of baking made my lasagna superb with that extra touch of golden brown crisp of goodness. First time I tried this but not the last.

I usually buy Galbani or Polly-O but when those weren’t available I tried this. Texture was great but I found it lacked flavor. I wouldn’t buy it again.
