Cottage cheese
Also called: Farmaajo kootij (Soomaali) · Fromage cottage (Français) · جبن قريش (كوتيج) (العربية)
What to look for
Check the date and choose a tub with fresh, milky-smelling curds and no pink or yellow tinge or sour smell. For baking, small-curd, higher-fat cottage cheese blends smoothest; ricotta is a good substitute.
