Ricotta is often called cheese, but technically, it's not. It's an Italian dairy product made from whey, the by-product of cheese production, and so it doesn't fit the traditional definition of cheese. Despite this, its widespread culinary use and popularity have led to its common classification as a cheese. With this in mind, let’s consider its main qualities and why it gained such popularity worldwide.

Ricotta is an Italian fresh cheese (usually referred to as cheese, as explained above) made from the whey left over from cheese production. The name "Ricotta" is derived from Italian, meaning "recooked, and it has been enjoyed for centuries as a staple in many Italian and Mediterranean cuisines. Fresh Ricotta cheese is smoother than cottage cheese and tastes mildly sweet.
It is firm, not solid, and consists of a mass of refined, moist, delicate grains that are neither salted nor ripened. The light, consistency, and clean flavours make it a perfect accompaniment to a variety of recipes and dishes like lasagna, manicotti, cassata, cheesecake, calzone, pizza, ravioli, and dips.
