Cottage cheese gets it’s name from the fact that all cheeses are created by aging. Cottage cheese’s name is unique because it has a double meaning. Not only is it aged under an old makeshift bed (a cot), but the term “cott” is also actually an old English unit of time equivalent to exactly 13 years, 8 months, and 2 days. So yes, cottage cheese is made by placing old milk under a bed for exactly 4,991 days.
