Probably the same one I like.
I get Bulla's Onion and Chives cottage cheese ... 97% fat free. Then I add a bit of salt (because I need a bit extra salt in my diet) and I eat it with cucumber slices, other raw veg, and/or pickles. It's delicious!!
Yes!! It's the Bulla brand. I've only had the plain one. Haven't tried the onion and chives one yet.

Um. I guess I'm the only one who doesn't mind it1

I eat **only** full fat dairy, grass fed. SO worth the extra few calories- and there is research now saying that full fat is actually better for you. I'm almost at the "30 lbs released" mark! (just .6 lbs away) since I started on Jan 1.0

We don't have higher than 2%, but I got 1% once and it made me so sad.0

I like it better (my favorite is 1% or 2%, I've also tried 4% and 0%). But brands make a huge difference as to whether I like any kind of cottage cheese or not.0 -

It might also depend on the brand, I've only tried the one brand low fat cc, but tried pretty much all of the full cream ones.
I also like 1% or 2% the best (my favorite, although it's brand vs. fat content, is 1%). Luckily for me it also has better macros. Back when I was fat I ate a whole container as a snack because I loved it so--even then I picked the low fat version because tastier, IMO.
I get it sometimes from a farm I like (that I also sometimes get yogurt from). I'd like to buy it from the farm more often but it's all full fat and I just like the lower fat better. Any other cheese and I think low fat is anathema, but I guess to me cottage cheese is more like yogurt or milk.1 -

Nope. I love fat free cottage cheese, and I was raised on full fat cottage cheese because when I was young there was no fat free or low fat. The only fat free food I cannot eat is salad dressing. Reduced fat is okay but fat free salad dressing has a weird taste/aftertaste.0 -
1 cup low fat cottage cheese mixed with 1 can of tuna. delicious!1

I prefer lowfat, too, though I wasn't excited about the non-fat I tried. Seemed to require a lot of dubious ingredients, too, though maybe it was just the brand. I prefer low/nonfat dairy in most categories, except regular cheese. I'd rather (for example) have some non-fat Greek yogurt & put coconut or peanuts in it, than have full-fat yogurt. I guess I like mix'n'match fat!0

I've always eaten 2%. My grandma bought 4% when I was visiting, and I found I honestly prefer the 2%. Where I am now, I've only been able to get 1.5% or 4%, so I stick to the 1.5%. It's a taste thing, not a calorie-saving thing! I don't, however, like that fat-free stuff.0

I've only ever eaten 1 or 2% but I eat it with a variety of fruit so it's like a dessert, only better for you! :-)0

THANK YOU!!! I am so glad someone else understands this. I am also doing low sugar/no added sugar, but everything else I'm eating is high fat/full fat other than the milk where I drink semi skimmed, as I don't like the taste of whole milk.
But yes when companies take the fat out of stuff it tastes gross, like cardboard, so what do they replace it with? Sugar!! And when the fructose part of the sugar (sugar is glucose and fructose) hits your liver it is processed into fat as your
Liver doesn't know what to do with it. Hence why a lot of people end up with non alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Little science lesson for ya there! Haha. It's really quite amazing what the food industry has done to the food supply. Please check sugar content as well.... 6 teaspoons a day (or around 25g) of added sugar (not fruit) is the official recommendation. Anything over 20g of
Sugar per 100g is considered a very high sugar food. Have a quick look at some of the low fat foods you're eating and see how much sugar is in it.

Not only do I like the low fat cottage cheese, but I also like the "light" or low fat cheese. I prefer the texture.0

I love cottage cheese, including non-fat. I appreciate the variety. I eat my cottage cheese with 0.5 cup of frozen fruit. It is delicious.
I am just the opposite of a picky eater. I love all the food.0 -
I tried both low and full fat when I started eating cottage cheese recently (spent my childhood thinking it looked and tasted like curdled milk). I go full fat, but will admit to buying the 2% if there's a really good sale0

Oh yeah, that extra 1g of sugar really makes a huge difference
ETA: I picked 1% because it was cheaper. Maybe I'll give 2% a go if I find some cheap...0
