Organic Low Fat Cottage Cheese, 16 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this tub in the refrigerated dairy case or grab it for breakfast, a quick snack, or part of a light lunch — think cottage cheese with fruit, toast, or in a salad. The vibe is wholesome and practical with a slightly nostalgic, protein-forward comfort feel and a creamy-curd texture. The ingredients are mostly cultured milks and cream, but the added citric acid, guar and locust bean gums and vitamin A palmitate indicate some industrial processing to stabilize texture and shelf life, so it leans processed rather than minimally made.
