Does low-fat cottage cheese taste just as good as regular?

Grant Ray came on 12/8/08! asked:

I just noticed that my container of cottage cheese says 4% milk fat! Wow, I need to buy low fat, but wonder about the taste.
And could I use low fat kind in lasagna?

I use low-fat cottage cheese. By itself, there is a slightly different taste. Not quite as good. If it’s put into lasagna, you won’t know the difference. Go for it.

Yes it tastes almost exact and it is great in lasagna! I’ve sold many lasagna and I have used it many times!

There are some foods that I will absolutely not eat if it’s low fat. But cottage cheese isn’t one of them. And yes, it’s great in lasagna.

Honestly I stick with the 2% cottage cheese singles from Market Basket. (if you have that near you) I typically drink 1% milk because of fat content plus I just like it better… regardless the 2% cottage cheese is the bomb. It costs less and is better for your health. For real I’m not a health nut I go by taste and this is the best.
