Is ricotta cheese suitable for vegetarians?

Here's why:

* Ricotta is made from whey, which is a byproduct of cheesemaking.

* Whey is a liquid that separates from milk during the cheesemaking process, and it's naturally vegetarian.

* Ricotta is not made with animal rennet, which is an enzyme extracted from animal stomachs and is often used in other cheesemaking processes.

So, you can enjoy ricotta cheese without worrying about any animal products.
