Is cottage cheese really spoiled milk?

Question

Just curious.

Answer 1

Cottage cheese is made by adding rennet ( a coagulant) to milk. That separates out the milk solids ( curds) from the whey creating cottage cheese.

Almost all cheese starts this way.

Answer 2

Not so much spoiled but old

Answer 3

no ...  it's actually curds & whey

Answer 4

Oh yeah, read about the process

Answer 5

yes it is!

Answer 6

It the cheese as it starts to form. So you get little bits of soft cheese and a little milk product called whey.. I love cottage cheese with pineapple. It's good for you too.

Answer 7

Cottage cheese is a cheese curd product with a mild flavor. It is drained, but not pressed so some whey remains. The curd is usually washed to remove acidity giving sweet curd cheese. It is not aged or colored. Different styles of cottage cheese are made from milks with different fat levels and in small curd or large curd preparations

Cottage cheese is a cheese curd(coagulated milk) product with a mild flavor. It is drained, but not pressed so some whey(milk plasma is the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled) remains. The curd is usually washed to remove acidity giving sweet curd cheese. It is not aged or colored.
