Cottage cheese is made by separating the curd (milk solids) from the whey (liquids). You can make your own cottage cheese at home easily and you can control the fat content as well as the moisture content. Do you want to make a spread or dip with cottage cheese? Drain the curd well and limit the cream you add and you’ll have a drier base. Do you love full fat creamy cottage cheese? Start with whole milk and finish with heavy cream (I cannot be held responsible for your heart attack!)
