A typical delicacy of Sardinia: a lightly pressed sheep ricotta, flavoured thanks to a natural smoking. It is made from sheep milk whey. After the classic preparation of ricotta, it is lightly pressed and smoked with the smoke of typical Sardinian woods, such as holm oak, oak and strawberry tree. Our Ricotta Mustia is in the 2 kg size or in the 300 g format with a packaging in a protected atmosphere that preserves all its flavour and aroma.
In addition to the classic taste of ricotta, it takes on the aroma and the typical flavour of smoked, while maintaining a smooth and velvety texture. The rind is fresh and moist, brown coloured because of the smoke. The paste is white, smooth, very fragrant and tasty. It has a special and surprising taste, delicious paired with homemade bread or carasau, to be savoured as an appetizer, as a snack or at the end of a dinner.
