Ricotta and Basil Spread (Low-Fat)
Ricotta and Basil Spread (Low-Fat) is an Italian‑style creamy spread flavored with basil, commonly used as a sandwich spread, dip, or pasta topping. It brings a mild, fresh cheese character and is often chosen as a lighter alternative to richer cheese spreads. Nutrition-wise, Ricotta and Basil Spread (Low-Fat) is notable as a protein-rich dairy option, providing about 10g of protein per 100g, which helps it feel satisfying despite being low in calories. It also contributes calcium and some vitamins and trace minerals typical of dairy.

It’s a convenient, protein-forward option for boosting meals or snacks.
