Cottage cheese is an amazing sour-milk product that has existed for many thousands of years, perhaps as much as people raise cattle. Cottage cheese is unique in that it contains a large amount of calcium, vitamins, protein and essential amino acids. Fresh sour-milk foods with a high protein content can be consumed for five days, and then heat treatment is required.
In Russia, cottage cheese is a traditional food, especially useful for children. It is usually served in the form of cheesecakes and soft pasta with sour cream, they also make dumplings, cheesecakes, casseroles with cottage cheese. Many people like to add cottage cheese to confectionery, both to the filling and directly to the dough.
