So, what is cheese curd?
Cheese curd is a soft, fresh, and mild-tasting cheese product that is a favorite in many dishes. Made from fresh milk, cheese curd is formed when the milk is acidified, causing the proteins to coagulate and form solid chunks. These chunks are then cut into bite-sized pieces, resulting in the characteristic texture of cheese curd. With a slightly salty taste and a smooth, creamy texture, cheese curd is commonly used in dishes such as poutine, salads, and sandwiches. Its versatility and delicious flavor make it a popular choice for cheese lovers everywhere.
