Description

Cottage cheese 4% fat is a type of fresh cheese known for its lumpy and soft texture, with a slightly acidic and very fresh flavor. This cheese is characterized by its low-fat content, approximately 4%, making it a healthy and light option to add to various culinary recipes.

Cottage cheese has its origins in Europe, where it was traditionally made as a homemade fresh cheese. Today, it is popular all over the world, especially in North American and Latin American cuisine, thanks to its versatility and nutritional value.

Properties: This cheese is rich in protein and low in fat, making it an ideal food for balanced diets and for those looking to control their caloric intake without giving up flavor. In addition, it provides calcium and B vitamins, which are essential for bone health and energy metabolism.

In different countries of Hispanic America, cottage cheese may be known by several synonyms, although the term "cottage cheese" is widely understood. Some of the names that can be found in different countries are ricotta (although this can vary in texture and preparation), lumpy fresh cheese or simply curd cheese.

In cooking, 4% fat cottage cheese is perfect for preparing salads, dips, healthy desserts, fillings, and accompanying fruits or vegetables, providing creaminess and a nutritious touch without excess fat.
