can this be used to make cheese Perogies? Recipe calls for "dry curd cottege cheese

Yes. This is exectly proper cheese for this recipe.

Is this a cheese suitable for the specific carbohydrate diet? (scd)

I purchased it because the description said it was suitable for SCD. When it arrived I noticed it has 4g of sugars and was doubtful. I researced online and became more doubtful based on comments and reviews but could not find anything definitive. I decided not to chance it and stick with my Friendship brand Farmer's cheese which is quite a bit more expensive but has only 0.5g of sugars and is SCD suitable. I have used Friendship for 2 years without issue.

What's the consistency? Is it spreadable (like cream cheese) or is it more of a soft block?

Greetings Tamara, Actually it is somewhat like pot chees,e an old fashioned cheese that has a very small or virtually no curd. I would say that the consistency is more like cottage cheese than cream cheese. It scoops out of the container very easily. My favorite ingredient for crackers and making croutons. Mares

Is there a paper lining separating the cheese from the plastic container?

There is a plastic lining between the container and the cover.
