Hood Maple & Vanilla Small Curd Cottage Cheese
What it is
This is a dairy product made from milk that has been cultured and then curdled. It is a fresh cheese, meaning it is not aged. The small curd style means the curds are broken into smaller pieces during production. This version is flavored with maple and vanilla, offering a sweet and slightly aromatic profile.
How people cook with it
This flavored cottage cheese can be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into various dishes.
- Breakfast topping

Open the container and serve chilled. It is ready to eat directly from the package. For a more substantial meal, it can be added to yogurt parfaits, layered with granola and fruit, or used as a filling for crepes or stuffed French toast. It can also be blended into smoothies for added creaminess and a hint of sweetness. Some people enjoy it as a side dish with fruit or crackers.
How it differs from similar foods
