Probably good for at least two months past the 'best-by' date...
properly refrigerated and uncontaminated cottage cheese keeps well a
long time. Just last week I noticed a two pound container of cottge
cheese at the back of my fridge I bought just prior to last
Thanksgiving... only was separated a bit, poured off the whey and it
was perfectly good.


Best-by dates are in reality mostly best for the manufacturer's bank
account.
