At Salvatore BKLYN we hand-make the freshest premium cheeses using three perfect ingredients:  cream, milk and salt.  The curds are formed using acid; either adding it or allowing the natural action of cultures.  The ricotta is made using lemon juice while the cream cheese is made with lactic cultures.  No artificial anything, no stabilizers.  No nothing.  At Salvatore BKLYN, we take pride in our daily batches  hand-made cheese that are stocked in stores and restaurants the very next day.  With a limited shelf-life, fresh is fresh, no preservatives.  We believe in real dairy and our Brooklyn roots where we still produce fresh cheese daily.

The history of ricotta cheese dates back to the 1300’s AD.  It was originally made from the whey, which is left over from making other cheeses.  The whey is heated and acid is added to form the curd, hence the name ricotta or ‘re-heated’.  Some ricotta is made using cultures that produce the acid, while others are made by the direct addition of acid using vinegar or lemon juice (our secret ingredient).  A lot of what you find in the store is made from whey, a by-product of cheese making.  At Salvatore BKLYN, we take a different approach using fresh whole milk and cream. The result is a premium ricotta that is thicker and more luxurious than most because we hand dip every curd.

On a summer lark in Tuscany, we met Salvatore Farina at his tiny San Gimignano enoteca “Gustavo.” Over a legendary meal, he offered us “ricotta, bread, olive oil” and thus began the storied friendship that became Salvatore Bklyn.

On a summer lark in Tuscany, we met Salvatore Farina at his tiny San Gimignano enoteca “Gustavo.” Over a legendary meal, he offered us “ricotta, bread, olive oil” and thus began the storied friendship that became Salvatore Bklyn. Salvatore educated us in the way of ricotta, and when we could find no rival stateside, we decided to make our own.  Today you can enjoy this hand-made  premium ricotta at home or at some of the finest restaurants in New York.  We make our ricotta in Red Hook, Brooklyn and while the milk comes from upstate New York, Salvatore BKLYN reflects the culture and the values of our neighborhood and our urban roots.
