Journal Title: Food Science and Applied Biotechnology - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The study was conducted to identify the technological process of cottage cheese production as well as its diversity produced in traditional way in Kosovo. The data were collected by survey realized during the period October 2015 – April 2016. The sample size was calculated as 450 small-scale households and was randomly selected, representing all regions of Kosovo. The data were collected by face to face survey in rural settlements.
