Ricotta is a brilliantly creamy soft cheese that works perfectly as a stuffing for pasta or in a dessert - but add it to your charcuterie board and you're going to have problems. One of the criteria for a good charcuterie cheese is that it needs to be easy to cut and transfer onto a plate, and ricotta cheese fails here.
A better option would be a luxurious burrata, which will provide the same creamy texture but stand up much better to a knife. Burrata is a version of mozzarella that has a much softer center, known as stracciatella. However, if you can't get a hold of it, any good quality mozzarella will work.
Adding a cheese with a bit of spice to your charcuterie board is a great idea, but you might want to be quite cautious with the heat, especially if you are serving it to guests that may not be able to handle too much of it.
