USDA FDC SR Legacy record 172181. USDA publishes no record for twaróg, the pressed fresh curd cheese used across Polish, Ukrainian and Russian cooking. This is its record for dry-curd cottage cheese, the nearest thing it carries to a plain, unsweetened, non-creamed curd cheese, rather than the ripened or cultured cheeses that make up the rest of its dairy list.
