The One Cottage Cheese Brand You Absolutely Need To Avoid
BY Angela Gervasi
Protein-packed, creamy, and curdy, cottage cheese can be amazingly versatile. It pairs well with fruit, toasted bread, eggs, and nearly everything under the sun.
Tasting Table's ranking of eight cottage cheese brands found that while Breakstone's cottage cheese was a winner, Trader Joe's organic low-fat variety is better when tossed away.
Thin and runny with few actual curds — which is kind of the point of a good cottage cheese — the stuff is lackluster, sad, and will make you wish you had bought something else.
So next time you're on the hunt for a cheesy fix, opt for a brand that includes live cultures, known as probiotics, and skip the Trader Joe's dairy aisle.
