Bungalow Cheese Is A Nutritional Powerhouse, But It Has Some Issues

It’s high in protein, low in sugar and best when fresh and locally sourced. Cottage cheese is the epitome of modern food trends all in one container.

But even though it’s a health fanatic’s dreaming, only 1 in 5 Americans “says hes” eat cottage cheese more than once a month, according to the 2017 cheese report from market researcher Mintel. Meanwhile, sales of sugary yogurts are rising.

It wasn’t always like that. Cottage cheese — which started as a style for European farmers to make use of milk garbage when making other cheeses — gained popularity in the U.S. in the 1950 s as a diet and health food, said Nora Weiser, executive director of the American Cheese Society. By the 1970 s, Americans ate an average of five pounds of cottage cheese a year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Now, yogurt — especially Greek-style — has usurped cottage cheese’s throne. While the two once had equal marketings, today yogurt outsells cottage cheese 8 to 1, according to Mintel’s report.

What gives?

Cottage cheese hittings all the marks for keto dieters.
