I don't understand the high price here. It's about double the price in the US. I think on many US imported items they add on an extra duty tax so the product can't compete directly with a Dominican one, but there is no Dominican cottage cheese here that I've ever seen. Dominicans I know don't even know what it is.

It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous!

I have never found decent ricotta in DR. The Dominican brands are horrendous. I saw Galbani mozzarella once so there’s a chance they might carry their ricotta too
You simply buy whole unpasteurized cow's milk. Order a few cheese cloth on Amazon. Bring to a slight boil milk, turn off heat add white vinegar or yellow lemon juice. Stirring until curds form, let cool, strain let sit straining overnight for best results. This is how I do it. Or you can buy Galbini in Bravo, etc

Jumbo in POP almost always has the Breakstone cottage cheese.

Playero rarely lately.

I sometimes wonder if these big supermarkets have some sharing arrangements for products to take advantage of bulk purchases.

Like does CCN bring 20 cases of cottage cheese on a refrigerated trailer that is then sold to other supermarkets?
