About Queijo cottage

Queijo Cottage, commonly known as cottage cheese, is a fresh dairy product originating from European cuisine, now widely consumed globally. Made by curdling milk and draining off the whey, it features a mild, creamy flavor and a slightly chunky texture. This versatile cheese is packed with protein, making it a favorite among fitness enthusiasts for muscle building and satiety. It is also low in fat and calories when made with skim milk, and it serves as a great source of calcium and phosphorus for bone health. Cottage cheese is often enjoyed as a snack, in salads, or as a base for dips and spreads. However, it can be high in sodium, so those monitoring their salt intake should choose low-sodium varieties. Additionally, its lactose content may not suit individuals with lactose intolerance.
