I wanted to make some cottage cheese then I read it in the recipe it needs cheese cloth. What is cheesecloth? Where can I buy it from?

Cheesecloth is a woven cotton. If you have none, you can use a regular kitchen strainer to make the cottage cheese. You will just have to push the ingredients through the strainer. No big deal.

I am glad its cotton. Do you have any tips for a better cottage cheese extraction?

cheesecloth is a very loosely woven cotton cloth uses to strain the whey from the curd when making cheese it looks kind of like the stuff you get in first aid boxes for cuts, gauze bandages

thank you for the explanation. I was imagining cloth made from some kind of special cheese. ^o^
