KATUYSHA, Rue Schaub 13, 1202 Genève

They are within 100 meters away from each other 

I noticed once this store up in Servette with Ukrainian and Russian food; it was rue Voltaire I guess... or rue de la Servette. In those surroundings, anyway.
What foods are you looking for if I may know? :)

I recommand you more the sputnik, easy to find, near tram station. Staff more friendly than Katuysha !

I am looking for proper cottage cheese.

Hello,

There are "Katyusha" in Servette, but not sure if it works now, they had russian food. LIke me, I'm just looking for russian specialites in small shops in town (Paquis, Plainpalais), they have differents sorts of grechka, cookies, sunflower grains and etc. Like on rue de Paquis (in the beginning of street) there is small shop, nice quality.

Also if you have facebook, check Cuisine Russe, they cooking some russian specialities and deliver 

Good luck! ;)

There's also a shop inside the Russian Mission that sells a lot of Russian stuff at discount. Since I don't have a Russian passport I can't get in, but my friend tells me it's worth visiting. Apparently you can visit it on Friday evenings, but I don't really know more than that.

I don`t hold Russian passport, so I think I cannot get in :) But thanks for interesting info!

If the cheese you are looking for is called "twarog" (Polish name) you will always find it in "Chez Achanti" (rue de Montchoisy 23, Eaux-Vives). They also have other eastern (mostly Russian and Polish) products along with other British, Indian and many more specialties.

If they don't have a product you're looking for you can order and they will deliver it to the shop for you.

I saw cottage cheese, produced in Russia, in store on Crets de Champel (there is the stop of bus 3), but doubt in the quality.

And there is russian store in Carouge, not far from the centre. Unfortunately don't know the street. 

I also have looked for cottage cheese here and the most close product, I've found - is fresh goat cheese in Manor, but it's a bit salty. 

Sputnik probably have what you want... as well as many other things like a multiple choice of pelmini, dried fish, pickled foods, and also the cottage cheese/sour creme.... and also sweet things.

Priantna apetit.

Yeah, proper cottage cheese and sour creme should be tangy. Doesn't exist in the modern world of Dannon and Yoplait any more. :)

You can always make your own pretty easily. All you need is fresh farm milk (can be found at local farms). Let the milk set naturally over a day or two in a pot at warm room temperature. Once set you heat it on the stove slowly around 40c-50c until the thin liquid separates from the curdle. Then put it in a light cloth and hang it over a pot to drain. Voila! Real cottage cheese!

The hardest part is usually to get a hold of fresh unprocessed milk but area farms ought to have some around here. :)

The shop in Carouge is called "La Perla" at Rue Saint-Victor 4, 1227 Carouge. This one is the nicest Russian shop in Geneva.
