Cottage cheese
Cottage cheese is a fresh cheese curd product with a mild flavor. In the past, it was known as "curds and whey". It is not aged. It is made not by pressing the cheese but by draining it, which allows some of the whey to stay which keeps the curds loose. An important step in the manufacturing process distinguishing cottage cheese from other fresh cheeses is the adding of a "dressing", usually cream, to the curd grains, which is responsible for most of the taste of the product.
Cottage cheese is low in food energy compared to some other types of cheese. As a result, it is popular among dieters and some health devotees. It can be used in a wide variety of foods such as yogurt, fruit, toast, granola, in salads, as a dip, and as a replacement for mayonnaise.
