Sometimes this process is hastened by the addition of rennet. Cottages cheese is the product of one of the first stages of the process.
Cottage cheese moistly likely originated for the following reasons:
*A ready supply of a raw material that was often otherwise wasted – skim milk
*The process of converting skim milk into a cheese was simple – place milk in a pot on the back of the warm stove top in the kitchen or cottage.
*the flavor can be enhanced by dressing with whole milk or cream
Many authors state that this cottage cheese originated in Britain, because it is widespread in all-Anglo-Saxon countries. The name ‘cottage’ is related to its origin as a cheese typical of towns and villages.
Its industrial production began in the United States around 1916, and it became a very popular type of cheese, representing about 8% of the total cheese production in the United States.
The cheese industry was born when Mr. and Mrs. Charles of Tigard manufacture and sell this new product that they had mastered – creamed cottage cheese.
