is this a good cheese for lasagna?

I use it for lasagne, works great and tastes good, can not eat cows milk cheese.

is this the ricotta best for cannoli filling?

No, this is a dry salted ricotta. Akin to a hard aged cheese like Parmesan.

Is there any way to freeze this cheese?

Yes. Wrap it with heavy freezer wrap and put it in the freezer. We cut ours into wedges so that you can take out what you need, then put the unused portion in the fridge. You can store it for approximately one month in the fridge

What is the sodium content in the cheese ?

I googled it and found this: Ricotta Salata Serving Size 1.00 oz(28g) Serving Per Container Varies Amount Per Serving CALORIES 80 CALORIES FROM FAT 60 %DV TOTAL FAT 6g 9% SATURATED FAT 4g 20% TRANS FAT 0g CHOLESTEROL 25mg 8% SODIUM 480mg 20% POTASSIUM 0mg 0% TOTAL CARBOHYDRATE 2g 1% DIETARY FIBER 0g 0% SUGARS 0g SUGAR ALCOHOL 0g PROTEIN 4g VITAMIN A2% VITAMIN C0% CALCIUM4% IRON0%

Ricotta Salatta...MULTO BUONO!!!

All of the local supermarkets in my area have ceased to carry this wonderful cheese. I was asleep at the switch when I discovered such a huge price differential compared to the local markets. My mother was born in Sicily and this was her favorite cheese. I like it with eggplant fried in olive oil with a marinara sauce, linguine and fresh basil. Of course the Ricotta Salatta is grated over the top. MULTO BUONO!!! The cheese arrived in a cold pack, still very cold to the touch. We divided the round into 1/8 pound wedges and put all but one where each in the freezer. It thaws easily and nicely. I would highly recommend this cheese to anyone who likes cheese.

Moldy

The cheese was moldy... I had to throw it away. It was like throwing $65.00 in the garbage. I was planning on using the Ricotta Salata to make Pasta alla Norma.

superior quality product

This is amazing , quality cheese. I am most thankful for sheeps milk - I have an allergy to dairy from cows. The cheese wheel arrives refrigerated in a styrofoam container within a corrugated box.
