Cottage Cheese
About
A curdled cheese made from skimmed milk and the addition of a special starter to develop the texture and flavor by the natural souring of the milk by lactid acid bacteria. The resulting curd is cut into small pieces and slowly heated. The whey is drained off and the curd is wash and cooled. This curd is known as Cottage Cheese.
Cottage Cheese provides a good source of protein, riboflavin, calcium and phosphorus. It has a short shelf-life and should therefore be kept in the refrigerator.
