Hood recently introduced a new savory cottage cheese product: a Cottage Cheese with Cracked Pepper flavor. The protein-rich product is made with a combination of white, black, pink and green peppercorns for a zesty, well-balanced flavor. When it comes to enjoying the product, the brand recommends enjoying it on its own or as a dip. Inspired by the fact that many consumers use cottage cheese as an ingredient in recipes, and often in place of other condiments, Hood creates a variety of unique cottage cheese products in both savory and sweet options.
Hood’s existing savory cottage cheese varieties also include Cottage Cheese with Chive, Cucumber & Dill—its two most popular varieties—Garden Vegetables, as well as a Low Fat Cottage Cheese Chive & Toasted Onion. Research from the company supports the fact that consumers are interested in savory cottage cheese about 70% of the time, which sets it apart from yogurt.
