If spring could be embodied in a cheese, we're certain it would be ricotta. It has the ethereal qualities of a cloud and clicks with both sweet and savory recipes. If you haven't been won over by ricotta yet, these recipes are sure to do the trick.

I'd like to quickly add to this post which celebrates a wonderful Italian cheese by dropping a link that I had found and tested for making your own ricotta. Easier than you think and as good as it sounds. http://www.cheesemaking.com/store/pg/217-Ricotta.html
