Is this cottage cheese pasteurized?

No. It is made from raw A2A milk, so it is unpasteurized. Pregnant women, young children, older adults and immunocompromised people should choose pasteurized dairy instead.

Why is there no salt?

The maker leaves salt out so you control seasoning. On its own it tastes mild and milky; add salt, pepper or fruit if you want more flavor.

What does A2A milk mean?

It refers to milk containing only the A2 beta-casein protein, from breeds that produce it. Some people who find regular milk hard to digest prefer it, though the evidence is limited.

How is it different from supermarket cottage cheese?

Supermarket tubs are pasteurized and usually add salt and often thickeners or cream. This one is raw, unsalted and made in small batches, with a softer, less salty curd.
