Breakstone Cottage Cheese, Low Fat 2%
What You Should Know
Breakstone’s Cottage Cheese, Low Fat 2% (16 oz) sits in the refrigerated dairy aisle, typically on shelves near other cultured dairy items like Greek yogurt, sour cream, and cream cheese. Packaged in a clear plastic tub with a resealable lid, the product markets itself as a heritage American dairy staple — familiar to shoppers who grew up with cottage cheese as a simple snack or salad ingredient. The label emphasizes "2% milkfat" and "cultured" to signal protein-forward and wholesome qualities; there are no organic or kid-targeted cartoon elements, and the ingredient list is short and straightforward. This tub fits easily into weeknight grocery runs, weekend brunch carts, and post-workout protein shopping: people buy it for quick breakfasts, smoothie bowls, toast toppings, baked potato or vegetable sides, and recipe uses in dips, lasagnas, or cottage-cheese pancakes. Breakstone’s positions itself as a traditional, reliable brand with more than a century of history — appealing to mainstream, family-oriented consumers and those seeking a familiar, protein-rich dairy option. In plain processing terms, the product is made from pasteurized skim milk and cream that are cultured, with a small amount of tapioca starch and added vitamin A to stabilize texture and fortify fat-soluble vitamins. Sensory notes include a small-curd structure, mildly tangy cultured flavor, and a creamy but slightly grainy mouthfeel; the tub invites spooning straight from the container or mixing with fruit, herbs, or savory seasonings. The ritual is casual and versatile: a quick snack, a layered parfait, or a component of home cooking that feels both practical and comforting.
