Ricotta Salted Montella is a type of Italian cheese that originated in the Campania region of Southern Italy. It is made from the whey that is left over after making mozzarella cheese and is a soft, fresh cheese with a slightly grainy texture. What sets Ricotta Salted Montella apart from other ricotta cheeses is its unique preparation process. After the whey is heated and the curds have formed, they are placed in special baskets and pressed to remove any excess moisture. The cheese is then salted and aged for a short period of time, usually a few days to a week.
