  • About the Producer
Fresh ricotta is made by reheating the whey left over from mozzarella production, which causes fine proteins to rise and set into soft, cloud-like curds. Vannella drains theirs in traditional woven baskets, which give each batch its characteristic ridged surface and a texture that's slightly firmer than supermarket ricotta — grainy in the most pleasing way, with a clean, lightly sweet flavour that tastes like fresh dairy.

It's extraordinarily versatile. Eat it as is with a pour of honey and walnuts, spread it thickly on bread with good salt and olive oil, or use it as the base of a simple pasta filling with lemon and herbs. It bakes beautifully in a tart or a cannelloni, and it's the right choice for any recipe that calls for ricotta and actually expects something worthwhile.

Serve it at the table simply dressed — or keep a 500g basket in the fridge and reach for it all week.

Vannella Cheese is a quintessential Australian success story with deep Italian roots. Founded by master cheesemaker Vito Minoia, the company's journey began in Conversano, Puglia, the birthplace of iconic cheeses like burrata and stracciatella. After decades of honing his craft in Italy, Vito moved his family to Australia in 2004, bringing with him a passion for traditional cheesemaking.

The heart of the Vannella brand is its unwavering commitment to producing fresh, hand-stretched cheeses. They are pioneers in the Australian market, credited with helping introduce and popularise authentic burrata to a new generation of food lovers. The business remains a family affair, with Vito mentoring his children and grandchildren in the art of hand-stretching curds, ensuring the traditions of their Puglian heritage are preserved. Using locally sourced, high-quality Australian milk, Vannella produces a range of fresh cow's and buffalo milk cheeses that are celebrated for their creamy texture and authentic flavour.
