Brânză de vaci is a fresh cow's milk cheese from Moldova. The name means cow cheese, and the same words are used for a similar fresh curd in Romania. It is soft, white, and crumbly, closer to quark or cottage cheese than to a wheel with a rind. Makers drain soured milk after gentle heat separates the curd from the whey. The result is mild, slightly tangy, and ready to eat without a long rest.

Cottage cheese is fresh cow's-milk curd kept in soft lumps, usually in a creamy dressing. The name points to farm kitchens, where people made a simple cheese from milk they had on hand.
