Bellwether Farms Basket Ricotta
The sweeter side of ricotta.
user rating
If you think of ricotta as something only paired with savory pasta dishes, you’re missing out on its more sweet and sophisticated applications. Basket Ricotta from Bellwether Farms in Sonoma, Calif., is an Italian-style cheese made from the whey of aged cheeses. The curds are hand-ladled into every cheese “basket” to drain naturally, producing a ricotta that is never mushy or grainy. For a sweet treat, drizzle ricotta with honey and almonds, spread with jam on warm bread, use it in your favorite cheesecake recipe or add lightness to pancakes. The milk for Bellwether Farms cheeses come from Jersey cows, fed on a mix of grasses, alfalfa and grains and never treated with hormones. Higher in fat and protein, the rich milk makes for superior cheese production.—Nicole Denis
