Cottage Cheese

260 Questions
Is cottage cheese the same as processed cheese?
Not, I think, in the sense you mean. Cheese, all cheese, is processed to an extent. Cream cheese, similar to Farmer's cheese, is less processed than other soft or hard cheeses. The hardness of a cheese is dependent mainly on how 'hard' it was compressed in a cheese press, to remove the moisture. Some cheeses, like mozzarella, are processed differently and aren't pressed to remove moisture.
Farmer's cheese and cream cheese are pressed only enough to form into shape, retaining much of their moisture. Cottage cheese is unpressed, merely separated curds and a little whey (the liquid left from making cheese).
American cheese or more correctly 'processed cheese food', isn't cheese at all in the true sense of the word, it is a mixture of vegetable oils and milk solids processed to produce a cheese product similar to a soft cheddar.
So, no, cream cheese is cheese, not a processed cheese product, in this sense.

This is a good substitute for Mascarpone cheese:
16 ounces cream cheese
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Blend all three ingredients together until smooth.

Yogurt is a milk product that has been cultured and allowed to coagulate.
The yoghurt cultures can include a combination of the follwing:
Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Lactobacillus delbruckii supsp. lactis.
The culture is added to milk that has been heated to 110F(43C). This is then kept at 100F (38C) for several hours to form the yoghurt.
The yoghurt can be strained in a cheesecloth to make thicker strained yogurt as in greek stryle yogurt, or strained further to make yogurt cheese(labneh/labaneh, dahi).
In various countries, yogurt may be made from the milk of cows, sheep, goats, camels, water buffaloes, and yaks; and soy milk. The plain yogurt found in the UK and USA is mostly made from cow's milk and is fairly bland.

'Fromage frais' is a French term for 'fresh cheese'. The firmer variety is called 'fromage blanc' .
It is made by adding rennet and a bacteria lactic starter (which contains: Lactococcus lactis, Lactococcus cremoris, Lactococcus lactis subsp. Lactis biovar diacetylactis, Streptococcus thermophilus) to milk that is between 22 and 26 °C (72 to 80 °F). This is then left at room temperature (between 22 and 26 °C (72 to 80 °F) for 12 - 24 hours.
Sometimes Calcium Chloride is also added to help balance between calcium and protein, and help coagulation.
The bacteria eats the milk sugar (lactose) of the milk at room temperature. This produces, as a by-product, lactic acid which gives the cheese its flavor and increases the acidity of the milk. The rennet coagulates the milk. The mass of milk will solidify after a few hours. When the solidified mass shrinks slightly, visibly pulling away from the edges of the container, the coagulation is sufficient. The fromage blanc at this point will look like a block of curd floating in clear whey.
The curds and whey are next poured [and left] to strai through fine cheesecloth The strainer is supported in another bowl to catch the whey. The strainer and bowl are refrigerated during the draining process. How long the fromage blanc is drained is a function of how the finished product will be used. The longer it drains, the firmer it becomes
At its most generic, fromage frais can refer to any of hundreds of varieties of cheese that have not been ripened, but are meant to be eaten shortly after they're made. These include:
