Cottage Cheese

This is a type of curd cheese made from skimmed cows’ milk which is warmed before the starter is added. This heating causes the curds to form in large soft lumps – a distinctive characteristic. They are then drained, washed and coated with thin cream. Cottage cheese — stark white, granular, low-fat and with a clean, mild taste — is generally sold prepacked in tubs, and is available plain or flavored. (257)
