Ricotta is a soft, fresh cheese traditionally made from whey, the liquid left after cheesemaking. The figures here describe ricotta cheese without added ingredients. It mainly provides fat and protein, along with calcium. Per 100g, it contains 11g of fat, including 6.9g of saturated fat, 9.4g of protein and 240mg of calcium.
Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their saturated fat intake. Ricotta also contains some salt, which contributes to total dietary salt intake. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
