About Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is a fresh, mild cheese made from small curds of cow’s milk. It has a creamy, slightly tangy taste and a unique texture made up of soft curds in a light cream dressing. Because it’s high in protein and low in fat, it’s a popular choice for healthy diets and snacks.

Pairings

Cottage cheese pairs well with fresh fruits like pineapple, peaches, or berries for a sweet snack. For savory options, it’s delicious with herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, or on toast. It can also be used in pancakes, smoothies, or lasagna as a lighter alternative to ricotta.

Funfact: Cottage cheese got its name because it was traditionally made in cottages from leftover milk after butter making. It became especially popular in the 20th century as a “diet-friendly” cheese. Browse All Cheeses →
