What do the phrases "country cottage cheese" and "selected milk" mean on the labels of dairy products?

Today I will tell what do the phrases "country cottage cheese" and "selected milk" really mean? on the labels of dairy products. In yesterday's article, I talked about marketing tricks for meat products, but manufacturers of fermented milk products use the same techniques. Let's figure it out!

1. Let's start with the most popular - "country cottage cheese" or "country milk". I'm 100% sure that each of us has seen similar signs in modern grocery stores. When reading this phrase, an illusion is created that grandmothers are sitting in a distant village and preparing for us a real natural country cottage cheese. But unfortunately this is not the case, and this is an ordinary marketing ploy. Instead of rustic, you can write at least Martian - from this the quality of the curd will remain the same!

2. How do you "selected" milk? Do you feel how long and carefully it was selected? Only who did it and how completely incomprehensible :) The label may also say -

made with selected ingredients. What does this mean, also remains a mystery. The funny thing is when it says "made from selected ingredients", and the composition flaunts a number of chemical additives. How they were selected is not exactly clear. By the way, there is one more trick with cottage cheese - manufacturers write on the packaging "curd". You think that this is a very delicate cottage cheese, but no, this is a product that is cannot be called cottage cheese, and it is better to refuse to buy it!
