Cottage Cheese
Product Insights
Cottage Cheese is a spreadable fresh cheese made from skimmed milk, cream, salt, milk proteins and thickening agents, belonging to the milk and dairy products (cheese) family. It carries a Nutri‑Score of C and is classified in NOVA group 4, offering low fat (4 g), low salt (0.89 g) and modest calories (95 kcal) per 100 g but provides only 10.9 g of protein and contains 3.7 g of sugars, which is higher than typical for similar cheeses. The presence of the additives guar gum (E412) and xanthan gum (E415) makes it an ultra‑processed product, and while it is a good source of protein for dairy lovers, its sugar level and processing may be drawbacks for health‑focused consumers.
