Methods for making cottage cheese

For a long time, cottage cheese was cooked in a cooled oven, placing curdled milk there, in those days it was also called sour cheese. After a couple of hours, the resulting mass was taken out of the oven and placed in a tissue bag through which excess serum was decanted. Then the manufactured product was sent to the press.
You can prepare cottage cheese in a dry way. The product made in this way can be stored for a long time in a cellar or refrigerator, taken on the road, without fear, at the same time, for its safety.
The curd mass was made by re-placing the curd in the oven and again placed under the press. The resulting mass is valued much more than fresh cottage cheese.
