Cottage Cheese

Cottage Cheese is a mild flavored cheese curd that is washed and drained. It can be made with different milks, various fat levels and in small or large curds. Milk is heated and the enzyme rennet is added which makes the curds separate from the whey. When it is pressed, it becomes farmer cheese, pot cheese or Mexican queso blanco.

It is popular among dieters because it is low in fat and a favorite food among bodybuilders for its high amounts of the protein casein.

Cottage cheese is often eaten in salads, with fruits such as peaches, pineapple, and strawberries, and is used as a substitute for ricotta cheese or mayonnaise.

The name was first used in 1848 when leftover milk in butter-making cottages, was used to produce the cheese.
