cottage cheese is most commonly
consumed Immediately, but If made in
quantity for commercial purposes, it
may be packed in tubs and placed in

naturally, 1t Is sometimes more con-
venient to curdle the milk by adding
rennet, and some housekeepers have
preference for cottage cheese thus
made, since the flavor is milder and
the acid taste which 1t possesses when
made from sour milk is lacking.
