How to freeze and use cottage cheese Because frozen cottage cheese should be thawed before it’s used, it should be separated into individual portions before freezing. Be sure to use an airtight container or freezer-safe bag, and seal it properly by removing as much air as possible before you place it in the freezer. Once you’re ready to use your frozen cottage cheese, you can thaw it by placing it in the refrigerator overnight. Alternatively, you can submerge the container in cold water for a few hours, but be sure to change the water every 30 minutes as it thaws (3). After it has fully defrosted, it may produce a puddle of excess liquid, which you should drain before using. Due to the changes in consistency, thawed cottage cheese works best in cooked dishes, including cheesecakes, casseroles, pasta dishes, or pancakes. It also works well for adding a creamy texture and cheesy taste to soups and sauces. summary Cottage cheese should be separated into individual portions and sealed before freezing.

Rich, full of texture, and packed with protein, cottage cheese makes for a wonderful snack. Sometimes referred to as curds and whey, this dairy product differs from cheese in that it’s not aged, but rather, sold and served fresh. It's also low in calories when compared with other cheeses. Cottage cheese has a long history as a power food. While various forms likely existed thousands of years ago, the product as we know it today first became popular during World War I, when the U.S. Department of Agriculture promoted it as a top option for consuming protein. The USDA’s goal was to save as much of the meat supply as possible for soldiers stationed abroad. After the war, cottage cheese remained popular as a diet food. It's popularity peaked during the 1970s. While cottage cheese has lost ground to yogurt, it remains a great alternative for diet-conscious dairy lovers.
