Where did ricotta cheese originate from?
Ricotta cheese originated in Italy.
It's actually a by-product of making other cheeses, specifically from the whey leftover after making mozzarella, pecorino, or other cheeses. The word "ricotta" itself comes from the Italian phrase "ricotta" which means "recooked".
While ricotta is now a popular ingredient in a variety of cuisines, its origins lie firmly within the rich culinary tradition of Italy.
