Our Organic Whole Milk Cottage Cheese starts with organic milk from grass-fed cows on sustainable family farms. Once the milk is HTST pasteurized, we add the enzymes to start the curd-making process. Over four to five hours, the curds continue to form inside the cheese vat.
Once we complete the process, we remove the whey and transport it to a nearby processing facility. There, we dry it and convert it to protein powder for use in other products. Then, we cut the curds, cool them, and move them to a new vat where they add the cottage cheese dressing.
We blend our whole milk cottage cheese with nonfat milk, cream, and Celtic Sea Salt®, an unprocessed whole salt hand-harvested on the Brittany coast of France. These salt farmers, in fact, have much in common with the dairy farmers who produce our milk: they provide food in its most natural state by using traditional farming methods that sustain the region’s environmental integrity.

Best cottage cheese hands down, I tried/checked ingredients on 12 brands ! Celtic Sea Salt is a healing medium in itself, as per Dr. David Brownstein, he has healed many of his patients with Celtic Salt. I eat 12 oz a day in combination with Flax oil 3 spoons as per Budwig protocol (cancer preventive and healing method) It is rare nowadays to find such high quality dairy products. Congratulations for your ethics and strive to excellence !

Clean ingredients, creamy, nutritious and delicious cottage cheese. We have tried both full fat and low fat and they are both amazing. we eat it with fresh fruit, granola and even make cottage cheese ice cream with it.

I’m so HAPPY that I found this cottage cheese! Now just to get access to that honey yogurt (I’m in the LA area, hint hint). I have been eating Green Valley lactose free cottage cheese for years and they discontinued it suddenly a few months ago. I was devastated, cottage cheese is a staple to my diet. Then I began the arduous task of trying every organic cottage cheese on the market, which for some reason everyone wants to either add probiotics to or water it down. I found this at random when I had popped in to my local Erewhon for something else. I figured sure, worth a shot. I am thrilled! It’s creamy, with a smooth consistency, and a lovely flavor. Just a little salt and pepper *chefs kiss*. It is now my go to and I am specifically going out of my way to Erewhon to get it for now.

I was so excited to find this at my local Health Nut Nutrition store! I didn’t eat cottage cheese as a child, but now I can appreciate this nutritious, delicious, organic low-temp pasteurized and high protein filled cottage cheese! Plus, its really cool that you use Celtic Salt as well!

I’m so grateful for Organic, Grass-Fed, low temp pasteurized, garbage free cottage cheese! I love cottage cheese so much and eating this makes me feel like I’m doing something good for my body! Thank you Kalona for making this so widely available and at a reasonable price to boot. I truly appreciate !
Lalanie Ortiz –
Best cottage cheese I’ve ever had! I’m very sensitive to pasteurized dairy, but with this being low temp pasteurized I am able to digest it so much better than other brands. This is the only cottage cheese I’ll reach for now.
Laura Wille –
If you want the best tasting cottage cheese, Kalona is it! I LOVE the whole milk variety because of its creaminess.
Jackie M. –
Hands down-The best cottage cheese in all of Iowa.
Sara Kurzenhauser –
I’m super happy with this cottage cheese. Others pale in comparison based on taste and texture. The curds are large and the texture is creamy and mild. You can taste the naturalness.

The most amazing cottage cheese on this planet! I remember growing up in the 80’s and I loved cottage cheese but I remember only eating the large curds. In my 30’s I stopped eating all dairy and went plant based milk…fast forward to now and I am 44 years old and decided to put dairy back into my life as I felt like my body was dying being a vegan. I found this product at Whole Foods and now I am hooked. It has made my body feel alive and given me so much energy, MORE than the vegan diet all those years! I now buy several of these weekly and eat a couple spoonfuls daily, or my new favorite way is “soughdough bread toasted with Kalona Cottage Cheese Grassfed” with raw honey and sea salt flakes on top…it is AMAZING!!! I will now ONLY have grassfed beef and dairy now..!Thank you for creating an amazing product and saving my life to feel alive again!
Amy Andersen –
This is the best tasting cottage cheese I’ve found. I appreciate that it is organic and there are zero thickeners or preservatives. I wish it came in larger containers, I would buy it! Thank you for such clean dairy products!
Aimee –
Hands down the best cottage cheese ever! I don’t know how they do it but this stuff is magical. If you don’t like cottage cheese, you gotta try Kalona, it’s mind blowingly good.
Caylee –
Absolutely amazing cottage cheese! This is the best tasting cottage cheese I’ve tried. I love that it is organic and that it’s made from whole milk. It’s also awesome that there is Celtic salt in it! Overall, an amazing product and I’m happy to support the company.
Jean –
The best cottage cheese we have ever tasted ! Amazing fresh taste with the right acidity and crispness.
We have to drive to another neighborhood to get it at the Gelson’s market but it is worth the drive. Delicious product ! Thanks for producing this. We never buy any other brand of cottage cheese now.
Kenny –
The best cottage cheese in stores, hands down. And I’ve tried pretty much all brands of cottage cheese. Kalona’s is so delucious. The milk tastes fresh, and the addition of sea salt adds to the richness. This is not a bland and boring cottage cheese.
Lisa –
This cottage cheese is the best! It’s thick, creamy and delicious with good protein.
Kathie Hamby –
Kalona Whole Milk Cottage Cheese is my family’s favorite. The simple, clean ingredients taste so good . It is so thick and creamy! It also feels good to be giving my granddaughter such a healthy food. Thank you Kalona!
W. Kruger –
This cottage cheese tastes great–but more importantly it is from healthy cows! Healthy dairy comes from healthy cows raised by traditional farming methods/regenerative farming! Thank you Kalona!
Rose –
For those who love cottage cheese, once you try Kalona , you’ll NEVER go back ! My Granddaughter has been eating this since she was a toddler, she called it
“ marshmallow cheese “ she doesn’t like any other brand. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. So rich and creamy, the taste is truly outstanding !

Awesome cottage cheese. Great taste, rich and creamy. I like it as is or with fruit for a snack, meal replacement or side. Celtic sea salt adds to the taste profile and is also a great natural source of minerals. Great for gut health too!
