That may be a bit of an exaggeration, there aren’t any folktales or legends about BRD mozzarella yet, but fingers crossed!

Ricotta is quite possibly one of the most underrated cheeses (although it’s technically not one, but that’s a story for another post) there is! I’m hoping that this post can help shine some light on the criminally underutilized snack.

Our mozzarella is no laughing matter! As fall begins I wanna give the heads up that there’s more to do with mozzarella than the summer dishes that most people imagine, like caprese salad, so keep your eyes peeled for some fall and winter mozzarella recipes!

I unfortunately found this heinous image on the internet and as a mozzarella enthusiast it hurt me to the soul. I would like to use this as an opportunity to inform all that the mozzarella balls, not the brine, are our product haha!

Although it’s less common here, across the pond in Italy it’s relatively common for ricotta to be used as a dessert item. We even have a video on how to make a no-bake cannoli cake using BRD ricotta, but we wanted to let you in on a secret: Ricotta is a perfect base for no-bake desserts of any kind. Using the base in the description below you can add all sorts of sweet goodies such as fruits, jams, or chocolate. The recipe is for a 10 inch store bought graham cracker pie crust but the quantity of filling can be adjusted as long as the ratio is the same!
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tub of BRD ricotta (2 cups)
1 and 1/2 cup confectioners sugar

For those of y'all who aren't mozz enjoyers we also have some incredible greek yogurt. I'd strongly recommend any yogurt fans to give ours a try, you won't regret it!
