1% Low-fat Cottage Cheese

1% Low-fat Cottage Cheese

Everyday

1% low-fat cottage cheese is a fresh dairy product made from cultured skim milk, characterized by its soft, lumpy curds suspended in a mild, slightly tangy liquid. This version contains 1% milk fat while maintaining the high protein content typical of cottage cheese, providing approximately 12-15 grams per half-cup serving along with significant calcium. The reduced-fat formulation offers a lighter alternative to traditional cottage cheese while preserving its versatile use in both sweet (paired with fruit) and savory (added to salads or toast) applications.
