More about Ricotta Cookies
Ricotta is made from sheep, cow, goat or Italian water buffalo milk that is left over after the production of cheese. The process of making ricotta changes the proteins which make it possible for people with milk allergies to eat it. Ricotta is highly perishable. It’s color is creamy white, with a slightly sweet taste. Ricotta looks similar to cottage cheese.
