What is farmer cheese?
Farmer Cheese: Farmer cheese has a drier and crumblier texture compared to cottage cheese. It is typically firmer and more compact, similar to a dry ricotta or a dense feta cheese.
Cottage Cheese: Cottage cheese has a moist and creamy texture with small, curdy pieces. It tends to be more moist and loose compared to farmer cheese.
Farmer Cheese: Farmer cheese has a mild and slightly tangy flavor, similar to a fresh ricotta or a mild feta cheese. It's versatile and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes.
Cottage Cheese: Cottage cheese has a mild and slightly tangy flavor as well, but it can vary depending on the type and brand. It's often described as creamy and slightly salty.
While both farmer cheese and cottage cheese are fresh cheeses, they differ in texture, flavor, ingredients, and uses. Farmer cheese tends to be drier and crumblier with a mild tanginess, while cottage cheese is moister and creamier with small curdy pieces and a slightly salty flavor.
