Muuna introduces new line of cottage cheese

US-based food company Muuna has unveiled a new line of cottage cheese.

The new cheese line is available in six different flavours, namely strawberry, blueberry, pineapple, peach, mango and low-fat plain.

The company also plans to launch two multi-serve items.

Muuna CEO Gerard Meyer said: “Cottage cheese has been around forever, and mainly thought of as a diet food. The same was true for yogurt, but yogurt innovated while cottage cheese remained stuck in the past.

“At Muuna, we decided to re-imagine cottage cheese, inside and out, down to our unique, beautiful cup.  Today's consumers want good food that tastes delicious, but cottage cheese has developed a reputation as boring and bland.

“So we spent years creating a proprietary recipe that delivers a melt-in-your-mouth, creamy cottage cheese combined with premium, real pieces of fruit, which will surprise and delight your taste buds. What's more, protein-seekers will be delighted to know that Muuna is high in protein."

The company claimed that its each cottage cheese contains 130 calories, 9g-11g sugar and 15g protein for each 5.3oz container and its low-fat plain flavour has 120 calories, 4g sugar and 19g protein per container.

The products do not contain high-fructose corn syrup or stevia, and are free of artificial flavours, colours and sweeteners. They are also gluten-free and certified kosher.

 Muuna cottage cheese is available in 5.3oz single-serve cups and 16oz multi-serve containers.
