Dry curd cottage cheese is made by curdling milk and draining whey, creating compact, chewy curds without a creamy dressing. Its texture is crumbly and springy, and it has a faintly tangy flavor. Regular cottage cheese, conversely, incorporates cream or dairy dressing, leading to a softer, richer consistency. Dry curd is better suited for baked goods and solid dishes due to its lower moisture content, while regular cottage cheese is easy to eat alone and can be used in various recipes depending on desired texture.
