High-Protein, No Compromises: How COTTO Is Changing the Dip Game

Kendall Kransdorf, Founder of Cotto

Cotto reimagines classic dips with high-protein whipped cottage cheese and clean, simple ingredients to create lighter, fresher versions of nostalgic flavors. Designed to be enjoyed straight from the container, added to everyday meals, or shared with friends, Cotto brings ease, elevated flavor, and clean protein to modern eating.

Founded by Kendall Kransdorf, Cotto was inspired by her journey to recreate classic foods with wholesome ingredients that supported her wellbeing. After her cottage cheese–based dips became favorites among friends and family, she realized there was an opportunity for a new kind of dip—nostalgic, delicious, and genuinely better-for-you.

Kendall brings deep CPG experience to the brand, from strategy work with major retailers at Boston Consulting Group to hands-on product development with food scientists and co-manufacturers at a supplement startup. She brings this expertise and passion to Cotto.
