The salty ricotta or ricotta salata is made from whey, goat milk and salt. This type of ricotta is firm and has a delicate flavor of hay. It has no crust. The dough is compact, white, soft and full bodied.

Ricotta salata is originally from Southern Italy and follows the recipe of the traditional ricotta production. But instead of selling the ricotta cheese immediately, it is salted on its surface and matured 10-30 days.

Most commonly, the salty ricotta is used as a grating cheese. It has less fat than Parmigiano and is thus regarded as an alternative to this calorie-rich cheese.
