I'm a bit in a cottage cheese kick right now, I started with Friendship and got some Daisy this time, and but I admit that Friendship was tastier. What's everyone's favorite brand? I don't mind trying store brand, so I'm open to that too (I only have Shop Rite/Wegmans/Acme/Target/Trader Joe's in the area though).

I've only bought full fat though (I know some brands don't seem to come in full fat) and I wonder if 2% makes a huge difference? I couldn't seem to find no sodium added versions in full fat either.

    Friendship California Style is the tastiest, imo. The blandest is Axel 4%. Shoprite brand is decent and always on sale.

    No Name! Lol. My stores don't sell higher than 2% unfortunately.

    Darigold 2% is my absolute favorite. I've tried Daisy and Trader Joe's, also, but don't like either near as much.

    Breakstones is my favorite too. The 2% small curd. Around here, Costco sells it super cheap. 3 pounds for $4.50. BJs has the 8 pack of the small cups, $4.99 and also a 2 pound container, $3.69, and there's a $1.50 off coupon off at BJs starting Thursday. I just bought the 2 lb one today. I'm on a cottage cheese and a fruit kick for my nighttime snack right now.

    I actually really like the Fiber One cottage cheese. It doesn't have as much liquid as some brands and I think it has a good taste and the added fiber doesn't hurt. It can be hard to find though.

    Just finished eating some Breakstone 4%. Its really good and thick. I got some Daisy cottage cheese a few weeks ago and did not like the flavor and texture at all.

    Breakstone 2%. I'm cheap though and have been experimenting with store brand cottage cheese -so far, I don't really care for Food Lion 1%, but it's edible.

    Lucerne 1% no salt added. I probably don't need to watch my sodium but I like to anyway. :)

    I couldn't find Breakstone 4% at Shop Rite sadly! I might try the 2% next time, or the Shop Rite version, but yeah I won't buy Daisy again (will still finish it though).

    Second on the Lucerne! In north Texas we get ours at Tom Thumb (which is a Safeway/United store).

    I'm not sure I can find Lucerne here.
  • glassyo
    glassyo Posts: 7,801 Member
    Yeah, I think Lucerne is a Vons/Pavillion's/Safeway brand. So, not a big help but at least that means there's more for me and crystal! :)

    Get a block of farmers cheese. Mix that to your desired preference with greek yogurt. Thank me later :)

    I don't know where I'd find farmers cheese either.

    Food Club. It's the generic/non-name brand at my Acme. It's the only one I really like. I prefer 4% large curd. I eat it for lunch 3-4 times a week.

    Your Wegmans should have farmers cheese.

    This is the same for me as well. I prefer to add whatever flavors to it myself rather than have it already loaded with sodium. Texture of this brand is good, too.

    Ok now I'm curious. I'll try that next time I go there for sure.

    The sodium thing isn't a health issue for me, I just find that cottage cheese is a bit too salty for me and I'd rather have it without added sodium. Just can't find full fat cottage cheese without added sodium. But I guess I should try the 2% stuff next time.

    I look at the ingredients before buying. Breakstone has too many additives. Daisy has only 3 ingredients. Taste is important but so is keeping it healthy.

    I'm not sure if you would have this product or not but my favourite, and only one I will eat, is Sealtest 1% cottage cheese. Yum!!

    I bought Breakstones because I found 4%. We'll see!

    I don't think that less than 2% of additives makes it 'unhealthy' but I'll look at Friendship ingredients again next time (I'm not buying Daisy again. Sorry!).

    You are correct. It is less than 2% additives. Breakstone was always my favorite. I may go back!!!

    Friendship 4% is my favorite. The little Fit to Go cups are the perfect size, too.
