What is cottage cheese?
Cottage cheese is made from whey, not milk. The liquid left over from cheese-making is heated, and the protein that collects on the surface is strained off; what remains is a light, grainy, and low-salt cheese.
This production method determines the characteristics of the curd: it generally has a low fat content and a nearly neutral flavor, which is why it can be used as a base in both savory and sweet recipes. Refer to the package label for nutritional information.
Are lor and ricotta the same thing?
The production process is the same—both are made from whey. The difference lies in their texture and use: ricotta is generally creamier and used in recipes typical of Italian cuisine, while lor is more grainy and used in Turkish cuisine.
| Criterion | Cottage Cheese | Ricotta |
| Texture | Grainy | Creamier |
| Taste | Neutral, slightly salty | Slightly sweet |
| Typical uses | Börek, breakfast, dessert filling | Cannoli, lasagna, cheesecake |

For Italian recipes, Kaanlar Ricotta (400 g ) or Kaanlar Ricotta (2.5 kg ) is more suitable.
Who is the 500-gram package suitable for?
- Bakeries that produce börek and poğaça
- Cafes with a breakfast theme
- Hotel buffet areas
- Confectioners — höşmerim and kadayıf fillings
- Home-cooked meals and small neighborhood restaurants
Where is lor used?
- Börek and poğaça: filled with a mixture of parsley
- Breakfast: on a plate, with olive oil and red pepper flakes
- Dessert: höşmerim, kadayıf filling, milk-based dessert
- Salads and appetizers: crumbled
- Pasta: with cheese sauce and filling
Why does the ricotta in the börek filling become watery?
The whey, along with the salt and heat, is released from the curd. If the filling is prepared and left to sit, this liquid is released and soaks the börek dough.
Practical tip: Drain the cheese before using it, prepare the filling just before cooking, and add the salt at the very end. If the filling becomes too runny, you can add a little breadcrumbs or semolina to thicken it.
Is the cottage cheese unsalted?
Cottage cheese is usually unsalted or very lightly salted; the salt content varies by manufacturer and batch. This makes cottage cheese suitable for both savory and sweet recipes—the flavor depends on the recipe.
If you’re following a low-sodium menu, check the sodium content on the label of the portion you have on hand; don’t make estimates.
How should it be stored?
Store at +2 / +4 °C. Lor is a fresh cheese and has a shorter shelf life than aged cheeses; check the expiration date on the package.
Once opened, keep it in a sealed container and consume it within a few days. Do not dip a dirty spoon into the container—cross-contamination is the most common cause of spoilage in fresh cheeses.
Can it be frozen?
If they are to be cooked, they can be frozen; börek fillings and dessert fillings fall into this category. When thawed, they release some water, so they need to be drained.
The cottage cheese should not be frozen if it is to be served on a breakfast plate—its texture will be noticeably altered.
