What goes with Cottage Cheese?
Cottage cheese consists of soft curds held in a milky dressing, with curd size, moisture and fat content varying by product. Draining, leaving the curds intact and blending produce three distinct textures. The liquid removed during draining should be considered before the cheese is added to a filling or batter.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Cottage Cheese?
Fresh herbs, ripe fruit and crisp bread give the mild curds direction. In savoury cooking, drain the cheese before placing it against pastry or a crisp garnish. A cured or fried partner can provide savoury intensity, but the cheese should retain enough presence to temper it rather than becoming an invisible binder.
