Soft Italian cheese (7)
I believe the answer is:
ricotta
'soft italian cheese' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for ricotta that I've seen before include "Italian curd cheese" , "may be served with biscuits" , "Italian 4 across" , "Soft white cheese used in Italian cooking" , "dairy produce" .)
