]]> The list of cheese varieties is pretty much endless, so we don’t blame you if you’re having a hard time telling the difference between some of them. Ricotta and cottage cheese are a case in point, but this brief guide will help you tell two of them apart.

Flavor

One thing that ricotta and cottage have in common is that they’re both delicious, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they have the same taste. Cottage cheese has a more salty flavor, while ricotta is usually on the sweeter side, making it a perfect fit for cheesecake and lasagna.

Texture

There’s a major difference behind the production between ricotta and cottage cheese, making both of their textures quite unique. Ricotta is made from leftover whey and it has a smooth, but slightly grainy texture, while cottage cheese is much lumpier because it’s made from curds of milk.

Nutritional Value

In addition to having a different taste and texture, ricotta and cottage cheese are unique in their own right due to their nutritional value. Cottage cheese contains less fat and calories, but ricotta is richer in calcium and selenium and contains fewer carbs, making it perfect for a low-carb diet.
