Sealtest milk company used to make a 'garden cottage cheese.' I don't know if
this dairy supplier was a regional business or if it was an east of the
Mississippi company or not. But the cottage cheese they offered had tiny,
tiny bits of grated carrot, celery, radish, bell pepper, and not sure what
else. But it was quite good but none of the cottage cheese producers offer
it now.

This past week while at the grocery I did buy a small carton of spreadable
Philadelphia brand garden cream cheese. It was just about the same flavor
I remember the cottage cheese had but in a soft cream cheese base. Pretty
good smeared on a saltine cracker.
