Trader Joe's 4% small curd cottage cheese is something I would be hard pressed to live without. I use it in place of sour cream on Mexican and Eastern European dishes as a condiment. I don't, however, cook with it. I always eat it cold, straight or as part of the finished dish. I won't buy any other type, been buying it for ages. I don't know who makes it for TJ's.
I guess I wouldn't turn down the opportunity to try hepped-up artisanals if samples were offered somewhere.
I do not like Greek yogurt. I was hoping traditional texture sour yogurt would return after the Greek yogurt trend lost steam.
