Cheese Curds
Fresh pieces of curd from cheesemaking, usually cheddar curd, before the cheese is pressed and aged. The protein network is what makes a very fresh curd squeak.
Origin
A dairy by-product eaten on its own, notably in Canadian poutine.
Flavour
Mild, milky, and salty.
How to use it
Eat them fresh, or melt them over hot chips. Older curds melt but no longer squeak.
Storage
Refrigerate and eat them soon. They are not an ageing cheese.
