About Cheese curds

Cheese curds are bite-sized pieces of curdled milk, typically made during the cheese-making process before the curds are pressed into blocks of cheese. Popular in North American and Canadian cuisines, especially in regions known for dairy farming, cheese curds are fresh, mild, and slightly tangy with a signature "squeaky" texture when bitten. They are rich in protein, calcium, and essential nutrients but are also high in fat and calories, particularly when deep-fried, as is common in dishes like poutine or cheese curd appetizers. Eaten fresh, they can be a wholesome snack, but moderation is key to balancing their nutritional benefits with their high saturated fat content.
