Cheese, cottage, plain, with additions

Cottage cheese is a fresh, soft cheese made from milk curds. The figures here describe plain cottage cheese with added ingredients, such as pineapple or Cheddar cheese, based on mixed samples. It mainly provides protein, with some fat and carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 13g of protein, 3.8g of fat, 2.4g of saturated fat and 0.9g of salt.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Cottage cheese also provides calcium, which helps maintain bones and teeth. Its salt and saturated fat content are relevant for people monitoring these in their diet. Added ingredients can affect the nutritional content, so individual products may differ from these figures. Full nutritional figures are given in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, mixed, e.g. with pineapple, Cheddar cheese). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Milk Products and Eggs Supplement, 1989.
