Cottage cheese (for cheesecake)

Description

Cottage cheese (cheesecake) is a smooth, creamy cheese with a uniform white color and a slightly tangy, milky flavor. The texture is velvety and easily spreadable; it is available in low-fat, semi-fat, and full-fat versions, which affects the taste and calorie content. It is a good source of high-quality protein, calcium, B vitamins, and, depending on the production process, probiotic bacteria that support digestion. It is perfect for cheesecakes, creams, fillings for pancakes and dumplings, and as a base for spreads and dips — it pairs well with both sweet and savory flavors. Store in the refrigerator at a temperature of 3–5°C, in the original packaging or an airtight container; consume within 3–5 days after opening. Freezing is possible, but it deteriorates the texture.
