Part Skim Ricotta Cheese. This is ricotta made with partially skimmed milk. Usually a red flag for me. I'm looking for whole milk ricotta for that creamier texture. This is really grainy. It's kind of like paste. The flavor's really nice, it's sweet. The fat content is not markedly less. So if you're reaching for skim ricotta because you want something that's lower in fat, it's about 6% less in fat. It's not a huge difference. Go for the Trader Joe's whole milk ricotta or even look for some other national brands. Calabro is my personal favorite.
