Darigold Cottage Cheese 2% Low Fat (3 lbs) is made with a simple, dairy-focused ingredient list designed to deliver a mild, creamy flavor with reduced fat. The product starts with cultured nonfat milk and cream, which form the soft curds and light, creamy base. Salt is added to enhance flavor and balance the natural tang of the cultured milk.

To maintain freshness and consistency, small amounts of lactic acid may be used to regulate acidity, while enzymes help form and set the curds during production. Vitamin A palmitate is added to support nutritional balance after fat reduction. No unnecessary fillers or artificial flavors are included, keeping the cottage cheese clean, mild, and versatile.
