How does Daisy 2% compare with 4% cottage cheese?

The 2% version is lower in fat and calories and slightly less rich. The 4% has a fuller, creamier taste; both share the same thick curd and short ingredient list.

Is it high in protein?

Yes. Cottage cheese is a protein-dense dairy food, and a half-cup serving of the 2% delivers a solid protein hit for relatively few calories.

Does it contain gums or thickeners?

No. It is made with cultured skim milk, cream and salt, with live and active cultures. That short list is the main draw over rivals that add stabilizers.

Is it good for savory dishes?

Yes. It works with avocado, tomato and black pepper, and can stand in for ricotta or sour cream in some recipes, though the curds stay visible.

How should I store it after opening?

Keep it refrigerated and use it within about a week of opening. The tub lid is not the tightest, so some buyers transfer it to a sealed container.

Is it suitable for low-carb or keto diets?

It fits low-carb eating well, with modest carbs and good protein. Check the label if you are watching sodium.

Our take on the Daisy Pure and Natural Low Fat Cottage Cheese, 2% Milkfat, 24 oz (1.5 lb) Tub

Daisy's 2% cottage cheese is a low-fat tub made with only three ingredients — cultured skim milk, cream and salt — plus live and active cultures. It is known for a thick, creamy curd and a clean, mildly tangy flavor rather than the soupy, gummy texture of some rivals. It suits everyday eating straight from the tub or with fruit, granola or avocado. Against competitors that add gums and stabilizers, Daisy keeps the ingredient list short, which is the main reason buyers pick it.
