Quick Summary

"Smearcase" is a regional term, primarily used in the Midland United States, for cottage cheese. The word is a modification of the German term Schmierkäse, which combines schmieren (to smear) and Käse (cheese). This term was first used in 1829. It is important to note that "smearcase" is not an insult, but rather a descriptive name for a type of cheese.12
