It's a pretty polarizing food: some love it, some not so much. Cottage cheese has been hard to find recently because sales are skyrocketing.
So why is cottage cheese suddenly so popular? Good Question. Gen Z holds the answer.
Cottage cheese has newfound fame and range thanks to TikTok, where foodies are sharing their favorite recipes featuring the ingredient.
It's clear this old classic has new life. Jill Holter at The Wedge in Minneapolis says they can barely keep it in stock.
"We are lucky when we have a full shelf like this. This is rare," Holter said. "Sales have been skyrocketing."
Cottage cheese sales are up 65% since 2021. Good Culture had to release a statement saying demand has been wild, and they are working around the clock to get supplies back in stock.
As a dietitian, Kylie Ryan at Hennepin Healthcare has been trying to get people to eat it for years.
"We have used cottage cheese as like a go-to thing for a while," Ryan said. "When people eat cottage cheese, they feel like it makes them feel more satisfied."
But there are aversions, and there are questions — like, is it healthy?
"What we like to say is that it's nutrient-dense," Ryan said. "The way it's made, it tends to have a little bit more of the casein protein in it."
For context, one serving of cottage cheese has at least 12 grams of protein. An egg has six.
Thanks to a new generation of awareness, what's old is cool again.
Cottage cheese is healthier than other cheeses because it has about 1.5 times more protein. It's also versatile, because it can go with sweet or salty foods.
Minnesota-based Kemps said sales are up 14% this year.

That guy in the middle had a PHD, was a WWI veteran, and was born in 1894, William Fawcett.
Okay, have it your whey....
Booking my flight now ... :-)
Salt, pepper, caraway seeds and celery seed. It’s the best!
Green or black olives with a dash of cayenne..................
My dad always ate it when he was trying to lose weight.
But maybe he was just trying to become big enough and strong enough to be a cowboy.
Yes .... some do ...
YUM!!!
Ouch! a triple pun!
I’ll try it
I’ve always eaten Cottage Cheese. I like it with a salt-free herb blend called ‘Sunny Paris.’ (CC is salty enough!)
We also like it with berries on top, and/or Granola. We do the same with Yogurt.
And any time I make a batch of jam that doesn’t ‘set’ right, that goes on top of yogurt or Cottage Cheese, too.
Nothing goes to waste in this house; though a lot of things go to WAIST, LOL!
LOL! Kurds...
That’s a great idea on the eggs & Cottage Cheese! Thanks!
I am always looking for ways to up our Protein. :)
Confession time. I like to use it like a dip with large BBQ ripple potato chips. I don’t know why, but I love it. Also great with apple butter or pineapple, but not with the chips.
Cottage cheese and canned peaches. A childhood favorite.
I’ll stir in some sriracha into the container . Th contrasting cool texture of the cottage cheese and the tangy heat from the sriracha are a perfect mix.
Thanks for that info 👍
Ricotta de blanc.
My dear husband - recently passed away…he loved to eat cottage cheese with salt and lots of coarse ground black pepper. Miss him.
It is a great substitute for ricotta when making lasagna. I just add grated parmesan to it.
