Saul's Market in Mulege had had it...and can get it within a week.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Yes you can, but as with so many products, you can't guarantee when or if it will be available.

They sell it in Comercial Mexicano here [regular style...no low or non-fat] so if you can find one of those stores down south, you may get lucky.
Maybe Smart & Final??

I suggest you buy one of those giant cartons at Costco so you don't run out. Guerrero Negro is a real hit and miss---,same with Vizcaino. Usually
we can find it in Guerrero Negro, but sometimes it is outdated.
Good Luck

I know it's not any of my business but what med requires you take it with cottage cheese? Never heard of that one.

Lemme clarify that claim. I know for a fact the non-fat type freezes well. I can throw a few in my freezer and thaw them out eight years later and
they're just fine.
I can only assume the CC with a fat content would do the same.
Somebody give it a try and let us know....in eight years.

sometimes smaller markets won't have it with dairy stuff, but in their "cheese and meat" area where someone from behind the counter has to dish it up
for you.

You can easily make a cottage cheese-like food called "paneer" if you are interested.
"Paneer is a type of cheese first made in the Indian subcontinent that is called for in many Indian recipes. It is easy to make and since it does not
require the use of rennet, it's completely vegetarian. To make it yourself, all you need is milk, an acid (like lemon or lime juice) and these
instructions. Also you need a cheesecloth."
http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Paneer-%28Indian-Cheese%29
...or make Laban, then form into cheese nuggets:

When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.

This is great thanks for all the help. Looks like I’ll freeze as much as possible, buy it when I can and bring some cheese cloth and make some if all
else fails.
Without getting into my medical problems—I’m following a weird diet from a German physician—so far it‘s working

Taratoor
My absolutely favorite road food and spread:
Taratoor
(Sesame Sauce)
1 cup canned sesame tahini (paste)
3 cloves garlic, put through a press or finely minced
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 tsp. salt
3/4 cup ice water
Put the tahini and garlic in a bowl, and using a whisk or electric beater, mix well. Still beating, add the lemon juice, salt, and 1/2 cup of the
water. Continue beating, and add 1 tablespoon of the remaining water at a time, until the mixture is the consistency of thick mayonnaise. It may not
be necessary to add all the water, or it may take a little more, to achieve the proper consistency. Store refridgerated in a jar, and use as directed
in other recipes.
Makes about 1-1/2 cups.
From "Where East Meets West"
I use this instead of butter on sandwiches, to top soup or straight up on crackers.
Thin with extra lemon juice and add olive oil to make a vegan Ceasar dressing. You can replace tahini with peanut butter. http://www.ummah.com/family/recipes/taratoor.html
When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.

i think queso fresco or queso blanco is a pressed cottage cheese, or is a very similar unaged or short-age cheese, so maybe queso fresco would be a
close substitute for cottage cheese. ask your local grocer how they make queso fresco in mexico

Queso Blanco
"The cheese, which I learned was called either queso blanco or queso fresco, is mild, crumbly, and unaged. In texture, it is very similar to feta or
Indian paneer. In fact, it's more or less made the same way; basically, it's pressed cottage cheese curds that have been drained of whey."
