I guess I can look it up, but is it easy to make it? I'm in constant search of NOT SALTED cottage cheese. Most of them are loaded with so much salt, what gives? Lucerne Safeway brand, not salted is my favorite if I can find it. European markets sell tvorog which is a similar product, just a bit different consistency: smaller curds, less moisture.


Same here! I don’t want salty cottage cheese. They all have so much sodium. I like cottage cheese with fruit. I can find non salty anywhere.


Best no salt added cottage cheese is the Giant brand. Availability varies by Giant store, though, as I haven't found it at every Giant in my NoVa area.

Anyone tried making it without the cheesecloth, just a tiny holed colander?

I like Breakstones- small curds, not too wet. But Good Culture is a lot more protein per serving.

Friendship 4 or 6% is not terrible. I prefer good culture too - it's the driest and saltiest for me.

Yes it’s hard to find but if you can find friendship 1% WHIPPED cream cheese, it’s even better. I hate a runny/loose cream cheese so this and good culture are the only two that have a drier, saltier texture that I love.

The best price is usually Target, but I know we aren’t shopping there.

The only respectable alternative is Hood.


I haven’t seen it at Target in weeks.

Yes. Why? And even Wegman's too.

I haven’t been able to find Good Culture plain lowfat cottage cheese at Giant or Whole Foods for weeks. Any leads?

PSA- Whole Foods 365 brand 1.5% cottage cheese is awful - curds are too large and liquid is almost - bubbly.
