Calabro - The Best Ricotta Cheese in America

Calabro Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese

Like most things in life, there is ricotta and there is ricotta. For long-baked dishes, it might not make that much difference. But take one bite of this Calabro's fresh cheese and you might think you never had ricotta before. It has the same clean milky sweetness that you find in great fresh mozzarella, and a fluffy, light texture.

I like it on toast, or with a drizzle of honey, or with a good piece of fruit. Just saying, gotta give props to these guys for keeping it real for 43 years. In Seattle I can reliably find the ricotta at Whole Foods, not sure what distribution looks like in the rest of the country. I only wish I knew where to find some of their other products.

Nothing like a good ricotta. I'll trot over to Whole Foods and check it out. Thanks for the tip.

We're lucky here in New Haven -- Calabro cheeses are readily available in every corner market. The mozzarella is pretty awesome, too. But we're really spoiled -- Liuzzi cheese over in North Haven is even better for ricotta (and everything else). I've seen it in New York, at the Grand Central Markets, but I'm not sure if you can get it outside of the So. CT - NY area yet.

I like to spread it on thick toast, top it with jam and call it breakfast. How does it compare to the tub of fresh ricotta they have at DeLaurenti?
