cottage cheese

Cottage cheese is a fresh cow’s milk cheese with a soft, grainy texture.

It does not have a long artisanal tradition and became popular mainly with the development of modern fresh dairy production.

It is made by coagulating milk with lactic cultures and/or a small amount of rennet. The curd is then broken into small granules and is neither pressed nor aged. The result is a soft, grainy texture with a little whey.

In the kitchen, it is very versatile: it can be eaten on its own, added to salads, used on toast or crackers, and included in light recipes such as baked dishes and cheesecake.

In short, it is a fresh, light, and practical cheese, appreciated for its delicate texture and high protein content.
