CHEESE PRODUCTION - WHAT IS CURD?

In the fascinating world of cheese production, curd is a critical component that plays a pivotal role in the creation of various types of cheese. Curd can be described as the solid substance that forms when milk coagulates, a process in which rennet or acid is added to the milk, causing it to separate into curd and whey.

The curd is then cut into small pieces and heated to allow the whey to drain off, resulting in a dense and solid texture. The curd serves as the foundation for the flavor and texture of the cheese, giving it its distinct characteristics.

Mastering the art of curd production is fundamental for cheese makers to create the delectable range of cheeses enjoyed by food connoisseurs around the globe.
