Cottage Cheese

Cultural Context

Cottage cheese has origins dating back to ancient times, often made by curdling milk and draining the whey. It has been a staple in many cultures, valued for its high protein content and versatility. Traditionally, it was consumed fresh, but today it is enjoyed in salads, desserts, and as a healthy snack. Its popularity has grown globally, with variations like farmer's cheese and ricotta often used in similar dishes.
