Chef’s Pantry: Cheese Curds
A-well-everybody’s heard about the curd, c-curd curd curd, curd is the word!
Yes, that was a bit cheesy… but we bet it gets stuck in your head forever.
A cheese curd is essentially the cheese solids that remains after being separated, or cut, from the whey in the cheese making process. Cheese curds as we know them are a young un-aged, unformed cheese. The youth of the cheese provides a neutral flavor profile suitable for many applications, baking, frying or just eating as is for a snack. Cheese curds hit the mainstream on the coattails of poutine popularity. On that note, if you’re looking for a way to uniquely incorporate the poutine trend into your menu, be sure to watch our Poutine Cup video-recipe.
