Discover the authenticity of the Sicilian dairy tradition with our Ricotta Salata di Pecora , available in two distinctive versions: the sun-aged Ricotta Salata Bianca and the Baked Ricotta Salata .

Both made from artisanal processing of raw sheep's milk, they offer you two different taste experiences at the same price per kilogram . Choose the quantity you want, indicate your preference, and you will receive a product specially cut and vacuum-packed to preserve its freshness, aroma, and fragrance.

The Sicilian Sun and the Oven as Distinctive Elements

Made exclusively with raw Valle del Belice sheep's milk and lamb rennet, both versions of this salted ricotta originate in the pastures of the Sicilian hinterland, where sheep raised on free-range pastures produce the highest quality milk.

The White version undergoes a slow natural maturing process in the Sicilian sun , which eliminates around 80% of the liquids through delicate dehydration, giving it a compact consistency and an intense but balanced flavour.
The baked version , also called "ricotta passita", after salting is lightly dried in a wood-fired oven, which gives it that characteristic smoky aroma and a drier, crunchier consistency.

The Traditional Process: Double Cooking

As its name suggests, ricotta ("ri-cotta") is made by double-cooking whey. This ancient artisanal method, passed down through generations, gives the product a unique texture and unmistakable flavor, far removed from industrial standards. The result is a salted ricotta that preserves the nutritional properties of sheep's milk, without preservatives, additives, or chemical treatments.

The Flexibility of Purchasing by the Kg and Its Uses in the Kitchen

Craftsmanship and Controlled Supply Chain

This salted ricotta, in both its versions, is the result of a completely traceable and family-run supply chain: from the free grazing of Valle del Belice sheep to the raw milk processing, up to the natural aging under the Sicilian sun or in a wood-fired oven. A choice that respects the island's true dairy tradition and guarantees a 100% authentic product.
