Small Curd Cottage Cheese

Small Curd Cottage Cheese

EverydayUnsweetened

Small curd cottage cheese is a fresh, unaged dairy product characterized by its moist, granular curds and mild, slightly tangy flavor. Made by curdling pasteurized milk, it contains less fat than large-curd varieties and provides a high-quality protein source alongside calcium and phosphorus. The small, tender curds retain more whey, creating a creamier texture ideal for pairing with fruits, adding to salads, or incorporating into low-fat, high-protein meal plans.
