Hood 4% Cottage Cheese with Blueberry Added
What it is
This is a dairy product made from milk that has been cultured and then curdled. The curds are then drained and mixed with a creamy dressing. This particular variety includes real blueberries, adding a touch of sweetness and fruit flavor to the cheese. It is a fresh cheese, meaning it is not aged and is meant to be consumed relatively soon after production. The 4% fat content refers to the milk used in the dressing.
