This April, celebrate fresh starts with one of our favorite signs of Spring- fresh ricotta.
Hints of sweetness layered into the creamy cow’s milk cheese make a perfect light snack or complete lunch inside this sweet and tangy, spring sandwich. There’s nothing better than biting into fresh in-season strawberries, wrapped in cheese and sweetened with local honey.

- Ricotta Cheese, Fresh – 1 Cup
- Cinnamon, Ground – 1/2 Tsp
