What the community said
Agrohub sells packaged dairy, but the loose-weight options are considered better. The sour cream and cottage cheese there are recommended for being richer and fattier.

If you want a more homemade taste, it’s better to buy cottage cheese, kaymagi, and similar dairy products from farmers or small farm shops rather than regular supermarkets.

Matsoni is a local fermented dairy product worth trying. Store-bought versions are said to be more sour, while homemade matsoni tastes better, so farm sellers are a better option for the traditional version.

If you don’t like sour dairy, look for strained matsoni without whey. It can be found at Carrefour and Agrohub; it tastes milder but is usually more expensive than regular matsoni.
