Shelf Life & Storage Tips</label>
<div class="answers">Our raw cottage cheese should last about 2-3 weeks in the fridge after you receive it. Every jar comes with a best by date on the lid to help guide you. But, of course, once it's opened there are so many variables that can affect shelf life (contaminants getting in, etc).<br>
<br>We do NOT recommend freezing. It will become clumpy when thawed, which removes that lovely smooth consistency.<br/></br></br></div>

How it's Made</label>
<div class="answers">
Our raw cottage cheese is made simply in an old fashioned way. Here's how we do it:<br>
1. The cows are milked using old fashioned pneumatic milkers. <br>
2. The warm milk is poured into the cream separator, which spins the milk and separates it into skim milk and cream. Each is then cooled down quickly in its own bulk tank. <br>
3. The skim milk is heated to around 100F and cottage cheese culture is added. Light heating is necessary to create a good environment for the culture to grow. Keep in mind that milk comes out of a cow around 101F, and all of the wonderful properties of raw milk are maintained under 110F.<br>4. The cultured skim milk is put in our culturing room overnight, for about 12 hours. The culturing room is kept around 101F.<br>5. Once cultured, the whey is strained from the curds. This leaves those chubby chunks of cottage cheese behind.<br>6. The raw cream is mixed back in, adding a luxurious texture to the curds.<br>7. The cottage cheese is cooled and bottled.<br>
