Tips
Where it comes from
Soft fresh curds have been made on farms for a very long time, but the name cottage cheese is first recorded in 1831, in Philadelphia, where people also called it smearcase. The name probably comes from the cottages where farm families made it at home, from the milk left over after the cream had gone into butter.
