One of the oldest forms of cultured cheese -- the kind that grandmother usually made at home -- the modern-day comme- rcial variety of cottage cheese is a most popular dairy food. How cottage cheese is processed Cottage cheese is usually made in the same dairy plant that processes and packages milk. Prepared under strict sanitary conditions, the careful manufacturing method starts with the adding of a lactic starter (and sometimes a coagulant) to pasteurized skim milk. At this point, the mix- ture is heated and tested. The resulting curd is cut and then heated sufficiently to develop a soft, delicate body. Subsequently the liquid whey is drained off, leaving 'dry' cottage cheese which contains not more than 0.1 per cent milk fat content. Small curd cottage cheese is also made this way; but in the case of creamed _ cottage cheese, cream and salt is added to the 'dry' product. The, inclusion of herbs, spices, fruits or vegetables will vary the taste. The final product is packaged in plastic or paper containers and refrigerated in order to protect the quality flavour until delivery is made to the store. Caring for Cottage Cheese A versatile food, cottage cheese requires the same kind of careful care as the milk product from which it is derived. Immediately after purchase it should be refrigerated at a temperature of 4 degrees C in the original container. Keep covered and refrigerated until just before serving. After serving, return unused portion to the fridge and make a mental note to eat it soon, preferably within the next few days. Freezing is not an advised procedure because of the possibility of flavour and texture toss. However, most prepared dishes. in which cottage cheese is an ingredient may be frozen without affecting their quality, flavour or nutrient value. Note: the date stamp on the package will indicate how long the cottage cheese will keep. Cottage Cheese: What's in it for you Cottage cheese has much the same food values as milk.

Buy Cottage Cheese wisely In calculating your family's needs, keep in ' mind the recommended daily quantities of milk. They are: 2-3 servings for children up to 11 years of age, 3-4 ser- vings for teenagers, 3-4 servings for expectant or nursing mothers, and 2 servings for adults. Approximately 330 mL of cottage cheese has the same calcium content as 250 mL of regular mi'k; about 80 mL supplies the same amount of protein as 250 mL of milk. For weight watchers, dry curd cottage cheese contains 93 kilo-calories in 125 mL. Since cottage cheese should not be frozen, it is wise to buy enough for only one week at a time. When doing so consider your family's preferences for the various kinds available: creamed, dry, small or large curd, flavoured or plain. Serving cottage cheese requires no preparation; it is a handy convenience food with all sorts of uses. It may be cooked, baked, served as a full meal side dish, or as a quick lunch snack when friends drop by.
