Low Fat Creamy Cottage Cheese for Passover

[Bzdhkap]

During the year I use Crowley's Lowfat1% Cottage Cheese, which I
enjoy because it's nice and creamy. Since it's not available for Passover, does anyone
know of a KLP brand with a comparable consistency?
Thanks!

I don't care for Breakstone's at all nor does my family. Its a shame since that is what Costco carries. Last week I saw Gourmet having a special on Friendship @$1.99/lb. I hope it is still on sale since I will start my pesach shopping in earnest tomorrow. Lately cottage cheese prices has been rising so I have been buying Daisy brand from BJ's 2 lbs for $3 and change. If Gourmet does not have Friendship on sale tomorrow I will try BJ's and see if their cottage cheese is KLP.

there was some time back a coupon at friendship's web site. I find mainstream supermarket's prices are better than kosher ones-Shop Rite had friendship cottage cheese on sale this week.

Went to Brachs first (ALWAYS start with Brachs then go to the others, they usually have the best prices). They were selling Friendship for $1.99/lb.

I have officially started my pesach shopping today. Taking a break then will head over to Gourmet.

I was a little dismayed to see Brachs selling raw chicken for $3/lb - when did this happen. I have not bought chickens raw for quite a while Last I remember they were in the low twos. I am hoping to do better at Gourmet and Seasons.

Went to Gourmet Glatt, same Friendship Cottage Cheese for $1.99/lb.

I must say that Gourmet Glatt has for the most part decent prices, greater selection than Brachs. I was able to buy a chicken for $1.49/lb. Their take-out section at Chap A Nash was non-existent - maybe 4 items. Can't figure out why. Brachs was fully stocked - chometz still so I was not ripped off yet. That will probably begin on Sunday when they sell pesach take out.

If you feel you are being ripped off, you shouldn't buy it. Who's forcing you? Make it yourself. If you don't want to, then I guess, by definition, it's worth it, and not a rip-off.

[MartyB]

I don't see the problem, I know that I am being ripped off and I an willing to pay. I have no choice. I do not want to spend all my yom tov in the kitchen.

Sort of like paying the high gas prices at the pump. You don't like it, but you pay.

I also find the Mehadrin 1% very creamy, nice consistency.

Crazily enough, I find the Mehadrin brand very creamy. I use that when i eat cottage cheese straight. For lasagne, any brand will do!

I prefer Breakstone's for creaminess. I find Friendship to be dry.

I don't know the Crowley's brand, but my all-time favorite cottage cheese (which is available KLP this time of year) is the Friendship 1%. It's actually the only brand I like, after having tried about 10 different brands and/or fat contents over the years.

I prefer the whipped version, which easily could be spread on matzah. The whipped one (it's in a sort of purple-ish/very deep pink container) is pretty consistent in its texture, perhaps a bit drier than non-whipped, but always smooth. The regular 1% (in a bright pink container) has a little more liquid than I prefer.

I don't know where you are located, but in my experience, the Friendship cottage cheese is located primarily in the northeast. I used to live in Michigan, and it was a challenge finding it in the Midwest.

p.s. Although Friendship is a subsidiary of Breakstone's, the cottage cheeses are very different in texture. I once mistakenly bought the Breakstone's one thinking it should be the same since it's the parent company, and it's definitely not.

Aas of now, friendship is not connected to breakstone; Breakstone is part of kraft.

I totally agrre about Friendship whipped. Delicious ,creamy and spreadable. Try it on matzoh with a great jam before speading on the cheese
