As protein foods, ricotta and cottage cheeses are acid-forming. But our bodies need protein so trying to find alkaline cheese is futile. Instead, you should think about alkaline cheese-based meals. So select your favorite soft cheese to meet the protein requirements that your health professionals advise you to eat. Then choose recipes that have most of the calories from vegetables. Or other alkalizing foods. Finally, complete your cheesy meal with salad, fruit, or both.
