Graham’s debuts layered high-protein cottage cheese

UK – Scottish dairy brand Graham’s Family Dairy has launched layered high-protein cottage cheese, capitalising on a surge in demand for protein-rich, minimally processed foods.

The new range combines traditional cottage cheese with a fruit layer and is available in strawberry or peach variants.

Each 200g pot delivers 25g of protein and fewer than 200 calories, targeting health-conscious consumers seeking convenient, nutrient-dense options.

Robert Graham, managing director, said: “Cottage cheese has seen an extraordinary comeback, driven by a renewed focus on high-protein, no-nonsense food. This is not a short-lived trend but a fundamental shift in eating habits.”

The launch comes amid renewed interest in cottage cheese, with Graham’s Family Dairy reporting that its sales have grown by nearly 30% over the past year.

The layered high-protein cottage cheese is available exclusively through Tesco stores in the UK, building on Graham’s established cottage cheese portfolio.

Founded in the 1930s, Graham’s Family Dairy remains a family-run business with deep roots in Scottish agriculture.

Today, it produces a wide range of dairy products, from milk and butter to yogurt, kefir and protein-focused offerings, sourcing milk from a network of selected Scottish farms.

In 2025, the company won a major award at AgriScot, being named Scottish Dairy Farm of the Year.

Graham’s picked up the gong at the 2025 awards ceremony on 23 October in recognition of its approach to employing cutting-edge tech across the farm as well as the treatment of the herd of cows.

The Scottish Dairy Farm of the Year accolade recognises the country’s leading dairy farms for excellence in animal welfare, innovation, sustainability and farm management.

A panel of expert judges visited Mains of Boquhan, the Graham’s farm, to inspect everything from herd health to the tech used across the farm to ensure the comfort and well-being of the cows.

This latest success is a result of Graham’s investments back into the farm, including the £4million investment into its transformation to ensure its sustainable production.

Home to almost 300 Jersey cows, the farm underwent the major tech upgrade in 2023 with the introduction of a state-of-the-art robot shed, managed by dairy herd manager Leanne Betram and herdsperson Ruby White.
