About Curd cheese

Curd cheese, a soft and slightly tangy dairy product, originates from a variety of European cuisines, particularly in Eastern Europe and the British Isles. It is made by curdling milk with an acidic agent like lemon juice or vinegar, resulting in a lumpy texture and mild flavor. Rich in protein and calcium, curd cheese supports bone health and muscle repair, making it a popular choice for those seeking nutritious snacks or ingredients for healthy meals. Often low in fat, depending on the preparation, it can be part of a balanced diet. However, individuals should monitor its sodium content, as some varieties may be higher in salt. Curd cheese is versatile and commonly used in both savory dishes, such as spreads and pastries, and sweet recipes like cheesecakes. Its simplicity and nutritional benefits have kept it a staple in many traditional diets around the world.
