As of 28 March 2021, The HyVee in Coralville, Iowa has been offering some of the unique cottage cheese flavors from Anderson Erickson including Mr. E’s Garden Vegetable Cottage Cheese. This is a specialty seasonal flavor and may not be readily available in all area grocery stores.

This specialty flavor is based on their Old Fashioned cottage cheese offering, and it has all the desirable hallmark characteristics of the Old Fashioned cottage cheese with perfectly sized curds and sweet milk liquid to round out the flavor.

In addition to having a flavor of sweet fresh cottage cheese, the other flavors that come through are from the fresh tomatoes, carrots, bell peppers, onions, garlic, and celery.

The product description states “Small Curd” but thankfully the curds are consistent with the original Old Fashioned product, ranging from small to large.

Overall, the product rating is a 10 out of 10, and definitely recommended as a “must try” product for those who like cottage cheese.
