Properties of Ricotta

Sheep ricotta is a dairy product rich in noble proteins with a high biological value and low fat content. The fats contained in it are saturated fatty acids and to a minimum part polyunsaturated.

The amount of fat compared to that of cow is slightly higher, which gives the product a stronger and tastier flavor. Modest is the cholesterol content.

Good supply of minerals: calcium, selenium, phosphorus, and zinc. The vitamin content is high: especially vitamins A, B2, B12.

The ricotta proteins are the whey proteins, albumins and globulins, which help the transport of antibodies and enzymes in the blood, they also help to improve the sense of satiety. Due to the presence of lactose it is not suitable for those suffering from lactose intolerances.

Cattani Company

The Fratelli Cattanei farm covers an area of ​​about 250 hectares of property, on which sheep, goats, pigs, cattle and horses are raised.

In addition to forage and pastures, organic wheat and seeds of various kinds are produced and cultivated, which have the primary purpose of balancing the diet of the farmed species.

The technological methods, the various machinery used for planting and harvesting, and the compliant biological method, make each product optimal.

The seeds are also sold outside to consortia and private individuals. Several plots and territories are rented, given the great need for livestock, and are located in various areas.

In spring, part of the cattle are transferred to the pastures of the Reatine mountains, at an altitude of 2000 meters, respecting the traditional transhumance which is the symbol of an optimal flock.

The Weight of Ricotta

The weight of the product varies from 400g to 550g, this is because it is an artisanal product and changes based on the season and the whey that will produce the ricotta.

Sheep breeding

Sheep breeding is carried out in the semi-wild state with own organic feed.
