Cottage cheese is a cheese curd product with a mild flavor. It is drained, but not pressed so some whey remains. The curd is usually washed to remove acidity giving sweet curd cheese. It is not aged or colored. Different styles of cottage cheese are made from milks with different fat levels and in small curd or large curd preparations. Cottage cheese which is pressed becomes hoop cheese, farmer cheese, pot cheese or queso blanco. In Sweden cottage cheese is mostly referred to as Keso, the most known cottage cheese brand in Sweden.
Cottage cheese is eaten straight where it is like the curds of the nursery rhyme food "curds and whey". It is also eaten in salads, with fruit or as an ingredient in recipes like jello salad, lasagna and various desserts. Also, it can be used to replace grated cheese or ricotta cheese in most recipes. It is popular among dieters and some health food devotees.
