Cottage cheese is a simple fresh cheese curd product with a mild flavor and a creamy, non-homogeneous, soupy texture. It is also known as curds and whey. It is made from cow's milk by draining the cheese, as opposed to pressing it to make cheese curd—retaining some of the whey and keeping the curds loose.

Mozzarella Cheese Mozzarella is a traditionally southern Italian cheese made from Italian buffalo’s milk by the pasta filata method. Fresh mozzarella is generally white but when seasoned it turns to a light yellow depending on the animal’s diet. It is usually made from buffalo or cow’s milk. Mozzarella is relatively low in fat and calories. This makes it a healthier cheese option compared to others. Mozzarella contains probiotics such as the bacteria Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus fermentum.

Other low-fat cheeses include parmesan, feta, and goat's cheese, and low-fat cream cheese. Many cheeses are now available in “lite” versions, such as cheddar, brie, havarti, and feta. Check the nutritional information, because some reduced-fat cheeses have added sodium.
