Frequently Asked Questions About Arla Cottage Cheese
How do you eat Arla lor cheese?
Arla lor cheese, a Turkish fresh curd cheese sold on the English page as Arla Cottage Cheese, can be eaten plain or mixed into savoury or sweet dishes. Try it with herbs on toast, or add fruit for a quick snack.
Can you use Arla lor cheese in lasagna instead of ricotta?
Yes, Arla lor cheese can stand in for ricotta in lasagna. Its curds are usually more distinct, so stir it with an egg or a little sauce for a more even filling, and drain excess liquid first.
Can you freeze Arla lor cheese?
Yes, you can freeze Arla lor cheese, but thawing may leave it more watery or grainy. Freeze it in a sealed container and reserve thawed portions for cooked dishes such as pasta fillings, rather than serving them plain.
How long does Arla lor cheese last after opening?
Keep Arla lor cheese refrigerated in its closed container and use a clean utensil each time. Follow the pack’s after-opening guidance and use it promptly; discard it if it develops an unusual smell, colour or texture.
Can you cook Arla lor cheese?
Yes, Arla lor cheese works in omelettes, pasta sauces and baked dishes. It softens when heated but does not melt into stretchy strands like mozzarella, so fold it into the dish for a curdy texture.
What does Arla lor cheese taste like?
Arla lor cheese has a mild, fresh dairy flavour and a soft, curdy texture. Its gentle taste pairs easily with herbs and vegetables in savoury meals, or with fruit and honey in a sweet snack.
Why is there liquid on Arla lor cheese?
A little liquid on Arla lor cheese can be whey separating from the curds. Stir it in or drain it if you prefer a thicker texture; if the cheese smells or looks unusual, do not eat it.
Is Arla lor cheese good for weight loss?
Arla lor cheese can fit into a weight-loss meal because its protein can make a meal more filling. Pair it with vegetables or fruit, and avoid turning it into a much richer dish with large amounts of added oil or cream.
Can you eat Arla lor cheese for breakfast?
Yes, Arla lor cheese is an easy breakfast ingredient. Spread it on toast with herbs, add it to scrambled eggs, or serve it with fruit; keep it chilled until you are ready to eat.
Can Arla lor cheese be used in sweet recipes?
Yes, Arla lor cheese can be used in sweet recipes such as pancakes or a simple fruit bowl. Its mild flavour suits honey or berries, though its curds make the texture less smooth than cream cheese.

What is Arla Cottage Cheese?
Arla Lor Peyniri is a Turkish-style fresh curd cheese: mild, soft and sometimes slightly crumbly. It is commonly eaten plain or used in home cooking, especially in savoury pastries and filled flatbreads. The name on this page is Arla Cottage Cheese, but cottage cheese and Turkish lor are not always the same cheese; here, the Turkish name identifies the food being described.
In Turkey, lor is a familiar breakfast choice, often served with bread, tomatoes and herbs, or folded into börek. Its gentle flavour also works well with fruit or a little honey. It is a protein-rich option, with 12.5 g of protein per 100 g, and can suit a lighter meal alongside vegetables. For a less rich filling, mix it with chopped greens rather than adding extra cheese.
