You can't say you hate cottage cheese until you've tried these two brands

Breakstone's Lowfat cottage cheese

and Borden's Lowfat (no picture)

Both of these are great tasting, with a tolerable texture, imo. Very little of the bitter whey taste that make many of the other brands inedible.

I concur. Breakstones Lowfat (2%) and Small Curd is very, very good.

On a side note, I HATED cottage cheese for the fist few weeks but sucked it down anyway. Now I have come to love it.

Thank you..... it might actually help.

I don't understand what everyone has against cottage cheese. Maybe this is just because I was being fed it since I was little, but I like it. There are some brands that make me want to scream in disgust and throw it away, but I found one that I like. It's called Nordica and it's 1%. I can only eat the 2cup sizes though, any bigger and it gets weird tasting, I still haven't figured out why. I don't know where it is available, but if you can find it I suggest trying it out.
On a side note, Fish that story is hilarious. When can we expect to see the sequel?

I found a 1% fat / reduced sodium CC @ Vons in So cali. by "Lucerne" - I havn't tried it out yet.

Breakstone's and light in lively are by far the two best cottage cheese brands. However, I prefer getting low-sodium cottage cheese so I buy Friendships's no salt 1% cottage cheese. It has 45mg of salt, 16g of protein, and 4g carbs per 1/2 cup.

But I know what some people are talking about when they say cottage cheese taste like a$$. Some brands I have tried are awful! And that's coming from someone who eats at least 1cup of curd a day [img]smile.gif[/img]

I've found the low salt cottage cheese--when i can find it, which isn't easy--truly dreadful. But it's worth it to avoid the TONS of salt in the regular stuff.

steelerfan · 01-18-2005, 04:15 PM

I couldn't eat the 2% before until I found Breakstone's. I could only tolerate the 4% cottage chesse. I will have to give Bordens a try also.
Thanks Johnka

Which brand did you buy, cus the Friendships' low salt cc is pretty good.

That low sodium cottage cheese is awful.

I've never watched my sodium intake and continue to have blood pressure in the healthy range (107/55).

I eat at least two cups of normal cottage cheese a day. That's a lot of sodium!

Ok, I can honestly say that I agree with one part of your previous post Fish--- the part about cc being from Hades! I've tried it on a few occasions, I get about to the second spoonful and I just want to hurl. No kidding. I might not've tried the right combos, but, I can say with all honesty, I tried and that stuff is gross. LOL

Thanks for the recommendations Johnka.

It's not that I was ever against cottage cheese, it's just that I have never eaten any... and in my mind I had evisioned cottage cheese as being basically rotten milk because of the way it looked. I recently started eating it though and I think I can acquire the taste.
