I used to always buy cottage cheese from grandmothers at the market, but now I prefer the store. I've noticed that packaged cottage cheese lasts longer in the fridge, but the taste just isn't the same. Should I go back to buying it by weight, or is it just habit?
Don't go back to it just for the sake of nostalgia. But honestly, it's not about choosing one over the other: mix your approach. I get packaged for casseroles and syrniki (the taste difference is less noticeable there), and for cottage cheese with sour cream or just on its own - fresh loose stuff, if there's a trusted seller nearby. The main thing is to check the expiration date and consistency on the spot so you don't regret it later.
