What it is

Cottage cheese dry curd is a low-moisture, granular form of cottage cheese. It is made by draining the whey from cottage cheese curds, often with additional pressing to remove more liquid. This process results in a firmer, less wet product than traditional cottage cheese.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cottage cheese dry curd as a protein source and for its mild flavor and texture. It adds body and richness to products without introducing excess moisture. It is often found in frozen meals, pasta dishes, and baked goods.

Health notes

Cottage cheese dry curd is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and calcium. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated cottage cheese and its components.

Allergen info

Cottage cheese dry curd is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
