I much prefer cottage cheese over greek yogurt, and I'm just curious to hear your favorite brands!

    I'll 2nd this (Friendship 4% - good consistency, both creamy & thick, not runny) but Breakstone 4% large curd is a close 2nd place (a bit different texture, combination of being both runny & creamy)

    Some store brands are ok (Target) but pale in comparison (a bit more "gummy" texture - I would say the worst I've tried would probably be Publix - just slimy, congealed)

    I’m not sure we have the same branding in Canada. My favourite is Dairyland.

    I like the Vons/Pavilions/Safeway (well, Lucerne) no salt added cottage cheese.

    I do like it better than greek yogurt too but sometimes my market's so I have to suffer. :)

    I buy cottage cheese produced by local dairies. It helps that I live in a state that produces a lot of dairy. I find Dean's and Prairie Farms to be really good. They are both regional companies.

    Dean's is good. I didn't know it was local to you (I guess it's semi local to me, as I'm in a neighboring state).

    Other than that I'll get it at the farmers market.

    I have no clue where else this is sold besides Michigan, but it is the Michigan brand large curd 4% cottage cheese. To die for - I think it has just the right amount of saltiness and creaminess and the curds have just the right amount of firmness for a good mouthfeel.

    IIRC they started in western PA/eastern Ohio (Amish country) and spread throughout the Great Lakes area because of the large number of dairy farms. They actually contract local dairies to produce under their name so it is local milk made into cottage cheese using Deans specifications and cultures.
