Hood Small Curd 4% Cottage Cheese with Pineapple
What it is
This is a dairy product made from milk, cultured to produce lactic acid, which causes the milk to curdle. The curds are then separated from the whey and small curds are formed. Pineapple pieces are added to this cottage cheese. The 4% refers to the milk fat content. It is a soft, fresh cheese.

It can also be blended into dips, used as a filling for savory or sweet dishes, or added to baked goods like muffins and pancakes for added moisture and a subtle tang. The pineapple adds a natural sweetness and tropical flavor.
