Ricotta Passita – Organic Aged Ricotta with Mountain Herbs (8–10 oz)
Made from the whey of our family’s Sopravvissana sheep, Ricotta Passita is a rare, organic sheep’s milk ricotta aged in natural caves and infused with wild mountain herbs. Basket-aged for the first month, then matured for 3 to 9 months, it develops a firm texture, deep flavor, and a distinctive dark rind formed by native cave microbes.
The herbed exterior—seasoned with peperoncino, thyme, and rosemary—adds layers of complexity to the earthy, full-bodied interior. Pungent and aromatic, this cheese reflects the wild Abruzzese pastures where our sheep graze.
Featured in Wine Spectator and listed in the Slow Food Ark of Taste, it’s a bold, unforgettable cheese for cutting boards, shaved into warm dishes, or simply enjoyed on its own.

Cheese
The Ricotta Passita is out of this world! I have never tasted anything like it. Melts in your mouth and goes superbly with the Olio extra virgin Terre del'Abbazia and Miele di Castagna along with a slice of pear on a water cracker. Highly recommended all 3 products
