Is it true that cottage cheese is made from cow cud?

Cottage cheese is not made from cow cud. It is made from fresh cow's milk that has been fermented with a culture of bacteria. The process of making cottage cheese involves heating the milk to a specific temperature, adding the culture, and allowing it to sit for a period of time. This causes the milk to curdle, forming curds and whey. The curds are then cut into small pieces and heated gently until they reach the desired consistency. Finally, the whey is drained off, leaving the cottage cheese.
