Before the appearance of European factories for the production of hard cheeses in Russia and the separation of the concepts of "cottage cheese" and "cheese" by cheese makers, all cottage cheese products were called cheese, and cottage cheese, respectively, cheese. Hence the name of the dish - cheesecakes. By the way, today on the territory of Southern Russia and Ukraine, saying "cheese" still means both cheeses (of various varieties) and cottage cheese.
Cheese (cottage cheese) was made from curdled milk. It was burned out on the stove until coagulation (curdling), then the serum was decanted, removed and transferred the resulting curd mass under the press. To increase the shelf life of the product, the procedure was repeated, obtaining cottage cheese that could be stored in a cold cellar for a whole week. However, they were afraid to eat the resulting product in its raw form, and therefore came up with various ways to use it in the preparation of various dishes, one of which was cheesecakes. The classic version, in addition to cottage cheese, includes sugar, flour and eggs.
