Whole milk ricotta cheese is a rich, creamy Italian dairy product made from whey and whole milk, offering a high source of calcium and protein. The presence of stabilizers such as xanthan gum and guar gum suggests it is processed to maintain its texture, making it more than minimally processed. While it provides essential nutrients like calcium and protein, it is high in saturated fat and sodium, which may impact health negatively if consumed in large amounts. A healthier alternative could be a lower-fat version or other cheeses with reduced saturated fat content.
