Raejuusto, known as Finnish cottage cheese, is a fresh cheese popular in Finnish cuisine. It is made by curdling milk and separating the solid curds from the liquid whey, resulting in small, soft curds combined with a creamy base. Raejuusto is low in fat and calories but rich in protein, making it a nutritious choice for those looking to maintain or build muscle. It is also a good source of calcium, which supports bone health, and contains minimal sugars. Versatile and mildly flavored, Raejuusto can be enjoyed on its own, added to salads, or used in savory and sweet dishes. While it’s considered a healthy food, those sensitive to dairy should consume it in moderation due to its lactose content. A staple in Nordic diets, Raejuusto remains a favorite for its simplicity, practicality, and health benefits.
