What it is
This is a dairy product made from skim milk that has been cultured and coagulated. The curds are then separated from the whey and gently rinsed. This version has a low milkfat content, specifically 1% milkfat, and features small, distinct curds. It offers a mild, slightly tangy flavor and a creamy yet firm texture.
