Good Ricotta in Orlando?

[mmuch]

Does anyone know of a place to buy good quality ricotta-not that grainy watery tasteless stuff you can buy at any and all grocery, but the good decadent creamy textured kind. I used to buy at an Italian market where I used to live but can't seem to find it anywhere here. Makes such the difference in cooking! Thanks in advance!

Zenana and I had the same idea here is the link for the recipe in Gourmet magazine it looks easy and does not require special ingredients . Good luck. Juli

I would try Antonios on 17-92 in maitland. The downstairs cafe/deli has a large selection of italian meats and cheeses. Good bet they have some decent ricotta.
