Artisan cottage cheese gets glass jar packaging

Dairy switches to glass jar for cottage cheese made with 100% grass-fed organic milk for premium appearance, material health, and recyclability.

Traders Point Creamery, a Zionsville, IN, dairy owned by Jane Elder Kunz and Fritz Kunz, offers artisan products made with 100% grass-fed organic milk and is committed to the health of its customers and the planet. “Since Fritz is a physician, health is an important part of our ‘M.O.,’” reveals Elder Kunz.

In 2006, the dairy introduced its cottage cheese product, which Traders Point describes as “the closest consumers can get to the original recipe that was crafted in cottages going back hundreds of years.” Since then, the Kunz say they have “relentlessly” searched for a glass alternative to the square plastic container they used to launch the product, for two reasons. “One is that our cottage cheese is made in a very special, old-fashioned European way that is not found easily today…so this is a very deserving product,” says Elder Kunz. “The second reason is that we believe there are health benefits to storing food products in glass, where plastic outgasses and may have hormone disruptors.”
