I hope you know that these are cheese curds and they are wonderful.

You can have them fresh and squeaky.

Or seasoned with dill.

Or deep fried.

By the handful.

Or by the bag.

Or in poutine (One of Canada's greatest gifts to the world).

Anyway you have them.

Savor every moment.

Let us praise the heavenly creatures that make this possible.

And the alchemists who turn lead into gold.

Yes, I am from Wisconsin.

Culver's? Ha. You drive to Ellsworth.

Cheese curd is unripened. This is the stuff they make cheese wheels from but someone figured it was already delicious enough to eat as is.

When you make cheese, the milk separates into two components: the curds and the whey. The milk solids and fat congeal into curds, like »

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

you see here. Whey is the rest, liquid. To get blocks and wheels of cheese, you compress curds into those shapes, removing more moisture.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

For some types of cheese, you add more ingredients and/or age them. Curds are just the high-moisture, least-processed form.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

In addition to what everyone else said, my favorite difference is that curds squeak delightfully when you eat them.
