Guffanti Baked Ricotta with Almonds is an Italian specialty cheese dessert from Puglia, crafted by the renowned Guffanti family cheese makers. This product features authentic Italian ricotta made from cow's milk whey and buffalo milk whey, enriched with 12% toasted almond paste for a delightful nutty sweetness. The ricotta is baked to create a dense, cake-like texture similar to a light cheesecake.

This two-pack contains individually portioned 7.05-ounce rounds of baked ricotta that can be enjoyed as a breakfast treat, brunch centerpiece, or elegant dessert. The traditional Italian process of baking fresh ricotta extends its shelf life while transforming it into a sliceable, lightly sweet confection. The texture is dense and moist with a subtle graininess from the ricotta curds, balanced by the smooth almond paste.

The baked ricotta tradition dates back generations in Southern Italy, where shepherds would bake their fresh ricotta in wood-burning ovens.
