$4.99 for a little 4 oz. tub at Lifethyme on 6th Ave. in Manhattan. It is from Montana and is vegetarian. I picked it up off the shelf where I could swear it said "goat ricotta." I got all excited as I love any kind of quality ricotta, especially goat. I got a spoon at the counter, went out on the street to eat it, but it was the thickest ricotta I had ever had and it didn't taste anything like ricotta. It was dense and ever so slightly gritty when cold, but with a fresh, clean taste. When it comes to room temp, it gets creamy, but still is denser than some other fresh goats. This probably would be good for melting on bruschetta because it wouldn't run all over the place and make a mess.

It turns out it was chevre! It is very good, but I really wanted to try the goat ricotta that they offer. They must have sold out. Here's what the little tubs look like plus their website. It's good for scooping out little spoonfuls for snacks.

According to the website, these Montana goats are soothed by the music of the wind and entertained by the eagles soaring above and the spectacular mountain view.
