What it is
Dry curd cottage cheese is a type of fresh cheese made by draining the whey from curdled milk. It has a firmer, drier texture and a milder flavor than regular cottage cheese because most of the liquid has been removed. It is often used as an ingredient in other food products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dry curd cottage cheese as a protein source and for its mild flavor and creamy texture. It is often found in baked goods, pasta dishes like lasagna, and as a filling for various savory items. Its lower moisture content makes it suitable for applications where a drier cheese is preferred.
Health notes
Dry curd cottage cheese is a dairy product and a source of protein and calcium. The FDA considers it Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar dairy products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Dry curd cottage cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
