Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is a fresh dairy cheese with soft curds and a mild, tangy flavor. It can be eaten as is, stirred into fillings, or blended smooth for a lighter creamy texture.
Identity
Soft curds
Adds mild dairy flavor and moisture.
Use cottage cheese when a recipe wants creaminess without a firm melt. Blend it smooth for sauces or fillings, or leave the curds visible when texture is welcome.
