Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is a fresh curd cheese with a characteristic grainy texture and mild, slightly tangy flavour. It is made from skimmed cow's milk, giving it a low fat content and high protein content, which makes it popular in fitness and weight-loss diets. It is served with fruit, vegetables or herbs as a light breakfast or snack. In the kitchen, it can be used as a substitute for quark in cake fillings, pastries or savoury dips. It also works well in pasta dishes and baked meals. Its neutral flavour allows it to easily absorb the aroma of other ingredients.
