There are various types of ricotta, depending on which animal the milk comes from: cow, buffalo, goat or mixed. The different types of milk change the flavour and the energy value. For example, cow’s milk ricotta has a more delicate flavour than those from sheep, where the flavour is more intense and strong. In addition, ricotta is a low-calorie, low-fat food, rich in proteins, making them ideal for all diets.
