    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.

    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.

    Your Wegmans should have farmers cheese.

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

    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.

    I buy store the store brand 2%, don't know the name. I definitely prefer 4% but the 2% fat is good enough...fat-free cottage cheese is inedible, IMHO.

    1% or 2%

    Daisy here too. Ingredients are milk, cream, salt, and (in the 2%) vitamin A. The others carried at our local stores have a lot of unnecessary ingredients, in my opinion.

    I made Kodiak pancakes with cottage cheese and strawberries as toppings yesterday. Very tasty!

    Ok I tried Breakstone's... I think Friendship is still the winner. Might try store brand next...

    Daisy 2% fat. ...but apparently that's NOT your fave! Breakstone is definitely the worst!

    I'm fine with store brand or any random cottage cheese brand...probably 2%.
    I don't usually eat it plain though.
