Roundys Fat Free Cottage Cheese
What it is

It has a mild, slightly tangy flavor and a creamy, lumpy texture. It is a versatile ingredient often found in the dairy aisle of grocery stores.
How people cook with it

You can enjoy this cottage cheese straight from the container as a quick and easy snack. It pairs well with fresh fruit like berries or peaches. For cooking, it can be blended into smooth dips or used as a filling for savory dishes. When used in hot dishes, it can sometimes separate slightly, but this does not affect its taste or safety.
How it differs from similar foods
