Cottage Cheese Sentiment However, lack of knowledge about the production process has done little to dim the products’ popularity; despite once being associated with diet plates and grandma, 71% of Americans have a highly positive opinion of cottage cheese, and 19% identify it as healthy. Snacking Ideas Cottage cheese is a protein-packed snack with upwards of 14 grams of protein and less than 100 calories per half cup serving – perfect for healthy snacking on the go. Beyond classic fruit combinations, cottage cheese provides the perfect blank slate for a variety of interesting sweet and savory snacking options for back to school and beyond, including: • Citrus and Cottage Cheese Salad California is the number one milk producer in the country, and produces 112 million pounds of cottage cheese per year. Dairy is a great source of protein, calcium and vitamin D, all of which are essential nutrients the body needs at every stage of life. Consumers can look for the Real California Milk or Cheese Seal on dairy brands to ensure quality products made with 100 percent milk produced by California’s dairy farm families. Products with the seals are available in supermarkets and specialty stores across the U.S. ### About the California Milk Advisory Board The California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB), an instrumentality of the California Department of Food and Agriculture, is funded by the state’s more than 1300 dairy families.
