What is cottage cheese?
Cottage cheese is a soft, white, and creamy cheese with a mild flavor. It is made from the curds of various levels of pasteurized cow's milk, including nonfat, reduced-fat, or regular milk. The curds are cut into small pieces, drained, and then mixed with cream or milk to give it a creamy texture. Cottage cheese is a fresh cheese, so it does not undergo an aging or ripening process to develop flavor.
