I've looked everywhere for it in the stores.  Is it something I need to make?

I'm not sure you can easily make it. I've found it in my local Publix here in FL, which is not a specialty food store lol. It's also called "farmers cheese" and perhaps you could ask the dairy manager to order it. Not expensive around $3 or so.

Good luck. Wish my gut could tolerate it, then I could make cheesecake yum :-)

you can google for the process.

it would be best if you can make it yourself. most of the dry curd cottage cheese from the stores still contains lactose.

i pay some local farmer to make it for me - the natural way - and i always tell him to make it very dry. anyway, i've discovered after about 1 year on the diet that it's better for me without it - at least until now - but my family loves it, so i'm still buying it for them.
it seems that not only the lactose is the problem, but the milk protein itself. for me at least.

the only diary i'm eating is swiss&cheddar cheese. they are more maturated (old) and the milk proteins are more easily digestible for me.

good luck.

It is also known as pressed dry cottage cheese. You could try looking for that.

All I know is that my wife's Mom makes cheese cake and german perogies out of the stuff and it is delicious! Hard to find though here in Phoenix.

When I was using it, I used to buy it at Whole Foods. They called it "farmers cheese." They had this huge logs (I think around 7 pounds) for a very reasonable price (I think the brand was "Friendship Farms). You can also try Jewish delis - they should have it.
Or, you can make something similar by making the SCD yogurt and dripping it for a few hours to drain the whey out. It's delicious!

Frankly, I didn't like the texture of DCCC, so I began using dripped yogurt instead. I no longer feel the need to use any kind of cheese.

Ah, I didn't realize it was the same thing as Farmer's Cheese. I did ask for the cheese at Whole foods in Orlando here...and they said they don't carry it anymore. :-(
I'll try Publix.

Thanks!

Local Stop and Shop stores should carry it.

My gut doesn't agree with this either but I love cheese cakeee

No, it's not the same thing as Farmer's Cheese, but many people call the DCCC farmers cheese because it *looks* the same. But the process to make them and the properties of the finish product are a bit different.
See here:

As I wrote earlier, I prefer dripped yogurt. Easier to obtain and way cheaper.

Me too, and when I do make me some, I use very well dripped yogurt. The resulting texture is much smoother than with DCCC.

I just bought UniQueso Aged farmer's cheese a publix.  I made zuchinni lasgana with it and it was great!  I will look for the Friendship brand next time.
