- Is this cottage cheese high in protein?
- No. It has about 3 g of protein per 100 g, which is low compared with protein-focused cottage cheeses that reach 10 g or more. It is better treated as a creamy dairy staple than a protein supplement.
- What does 4% milkfat mean?
- It means the cheese is made with at least 4% milkfat, so it is a full-fat rather than low-fat cottage cheese. Expect a richer, creamier body and about 5 g fat per 100 g.
- Small curd or large curd, which is this?
- This is small curd. The curds are finer and the texture smoother, which suits spreading on toast or blending into dips better than large-curd versions.
- How should I store the 48 oz tub?
- Keep it refrigerated and reseal the lid tightly after each use. Once opened, plan to finish it within about a week, so a large tub suits regular eaters best.
- Can I cook or bake with it?
- Yes. Small-curd cottage cheese blends into pancake batter, dips and lasagna fillings well. Drain excess whey first if a recipe calls for a thicker consistency.
