Perhaps one of the most popular products in its category can safely be called curd cheese "Hohland" with herbs. This producer also offers cheeses with many other flavors, but this is exactly the type that is most in demand among Russian consumers.
Composition of the product
If you pay attention to the list of ingredients on the cheese packaging in question, you will find cottage cheese, milk powder, salt, stabilizers and flavorings corresponding to the taste indicated on the box. Do not worry about the presence of the last two. All these additives are recognized in our country as safe for the human body.
It is the stabilizers that give the curd cheese the airy texture so beloved by many and a delicate taste. In addition, they help to increase the shelf life of a product, which is often very small in dairy products.
Calorie content
Most bodybuilders exclude dairy products from their diet due to their high calorie content. But there are some nuances. For example, the calorie content of the Hohland curd cheese with herbs may turn out to be practically invisible. The thing is that it is often consumed for breakfast. And this is a meal that involves a sufficiently large number of calories for a productive start to the day. If we talk about numbers, then 100 g of such a treat contains 245 kcal. You spend about 20 g of cheese on one sandwich, which means 50 kcal, excluding other ingredients.
Despite the fact that such a breakfast can not be called harmful to health and shape, it is not worth abusing curd cheese. After all, it can not be attributed to dietary products.
Home recipe
You can cook curd cheese at home. This will require very simple ingredients:
- fat cottage cheese 250 g;
- sour cream 120 g;
- greens to taste;
- 2-3 cloves of garlic;
- 1 tsp starch;
- salt to taste.
You can take absolutely any greens. It can be just dill and parsley, or with the addition of cilantro, basil, green onions and even oregano. All these aromatic herbs along with garlic must be cut and mixed in a blender bowl with all the other ingredients. After this, beat until smooth and leave to brew in the refrigerator for about half an hour. The consistency of cheese depends on the amount of sour cream, so it can be added gradually.
In the morning, you can fry crispy toast, which goes well with your homemade cheese. The only contraindication for such a treat is intolerance to fermented milk products.
