I have purchased the longley farm cottage cheese that everyone raves about!

[Foodfiend2025]

So many of you say this stuff is amazing so my partner got us some to try. Soooo what's the best way to eat it? On toast with avocado, or straight out the pot with a ladle?!

They sell Longley Farm in Home Bargains and Iceland.

I have to say I disagree, I have both Waitrose and Sainsburys normal ones regularly when I can't get LF and they taste fine, not sloppy, wet or bitter and only very slightly lower in fat than LF, never any problem finding them, they are always there alongside the low-fat / fat-free versions.

I like it on pumpernickel.

It's a lot more expensive than it used to be.

Nooooo it’s so good! Why didn’t you like it?

I don't know, my taste buds didn't like it 😂

Was just thinking the same, it's a lot cheaper on the website for collection. Those lucky people that live near by!

I started reading this post and thinking, what's this new fangled posh cheese they are talking about now, but then reading the name again I'm thinking is that the cottage cheese with the flying cow on the front? Have to agree this stuff is ace. Full fat CC, like full fat yogurt, are extremely hard to get these days, but is well worth hunting down. Last time I was on a health crusade, going to the gym and eating 'healthy', healthy being low carb, high fat and high protein, I'd drive my missus nuts trying to find this cottage cheese, it's truly wonderful stuff.

They have a pineapple one that is very nice

I love it !

Trust me, if you're used to Longley Farm, they are sloppy, wet and bitter, they just don't compare.

I even bought a Polish variety after seeing that as a recommended alternative and despite having the same fat content, that was rubbish too.

Bizarre to see this thread as I thought I was the only LF obsessive! Didn’t know it was having a moment and no I am not from their marketing team.
Yrs. Iceland sometimes have it. I usually make do with the Lidl one though which is OK if you pour the bit of whey off.

We'll have to agree to disagree, I am used to LF and they are fine, it's just the low fat ones that are best avoided.

I’ve been eating this for years. I eat it with lots of evening meals as it goes so well with anything non sauce based. So with vegetables or salad. My local NiSa store which stocks a lot of Co-op products has it. And also does the smaller pots. Sainsbury’s has it and Ocado. Selfishly I hope I don’t struggle to buy it now it seems to have been “discovered”. I also just eat it straight from the pot. Once saw a man on a train eat an entire pot of it in one go - not with biscuits or anything.

I quite often have a pot as breakfast or lunch on the go.

If I can prepare it at home, I'll add some cucumber, cherry tomatoes, black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil, but even on it's own it's a good, cheap, portable lunch or breakfast as an alternative to prepack sandwiches etc.

the chive one, in a ham sandwich.....love it.

Is anyone else like me, I dont like it cold, I like it at room temperature. Thats how all cheese should be served in any case

You’re wrong. It is trending on TikTok. And that’s why nobody can find the bloody stuff.

Aww just buy the good cottage cheese all the time. Treat yourself.

Telling everyone they are wrong. It’s not trendy, it’s not become viewed as a special artisan product.

Then admitting you don’t know why it’s flying off the shelves at the moment and hard to find 🤣

TikTok love. Cause it’s trendy and the young uns think it’s a special artisan product

In fairness, it is an artisanal product - it’s made by a family business in quantities too small to supply the supermarkets and it is of a much higher quality than the rest of the stuff on the market.

Just because we’ve been buying it locally since the 80s doesn’t mean it isn’t special. Artisan food isn’t just wanky stuff from ex pop stars in the Cotswolds. Regional family firms doing a ruddy good job can be appreciated too.

I always find it in supermarkets

I had some with an egg scrambled today and was really surprised how cheesy it tasted - usually I only ever have it cold or use it in recipe for school style cheese flan

Morrisons used to sell it and the yogurts.

It IS the Queen of cottage cheeses. Really hard to find down here in Hampshire. Asda only have the low fat version which is NOT the queen of cottage cheeses. It was everywhere up North. Sad.
