What You Should Know

Daisy Cottage Cheese, 4% milkfat, 24 oz, is a familiar refrigerated tub you’ll find sitting in the dairy case alongside Greek yogurts, cream cheese, sour cream and other fresh cheeses. Branded as “America’s #1 cottage cheese,” the product leans into a wholesome, home-style positioning—simple ingredients, high protein and live cultures—appealing to families, health-conscious shoppers and those seeking a nostalgic, mid-century American dairy staple. The label highlights a short ingredient list (“cultured skim milk, cream, salt”), “live and active cultures” and the claim of being made with only three ingredients, creating a strong natural/clean-label halo without organic certification or child-focused gimmicks. In plain terms, it’s a cultured dairy product: skim milk is fermented, then blended with cream and salt to yield small, moist curds and a mildly tangy, creamy finish. Sensory notes: soft, lumpy curds with a creamy mouthfeel and a slightly tangy, fresh dairy aroma; the 24 oz plastic tub and resealable lid invite the common ritual of spooning straight from the container for quick snacks, spreading on toast, mixing into salads or topping fruit. Typical uses include breakfast bowls, savory snacks with pepper and tomato, protein-rich post-workout bites, or part of brunch spreads. Nutrition cues—about 110 calories per serving, 390 mg sodium and 4 g sugars—support its image as a substantive, practical dairy choice. Processing context: a processed dairy product made by culturing milk and adding cream and salt.
