Study explores consumers' interest in new cottage cheese concepts
Despite its old-school reputation, this study found that creative cottage cheese recipe concepts held major appeal for consumers of all ages.
Cottage cheese is ready for a comeback, according to a new study from Culinary Visions, Chicago. The study presented consumers with 25 chef-inspired concepts featuring cottage cheese, and discovered high interest in concepts that reimagined cottage cheese with a contemporary twist.
"Despite its old-school reputation, our study found that creative cottage cheese recipe concepts held major appeal for consumers of all ages. In fact, younger consumers ages 18-34 actually expressed more interest in the presented concepts than any other age group," says Sharon Olson, executive director. "Modern takes on cottage cheese meet the needs of today's consumers' demanding lifestyles, who seek products that are simultaneously healthful, convenient and delicious.”
