Cheese Curds are one of the most unique appetizer items you can eat. One bite brings you straight to a warm buttery crunch, followed by an ooey-gooey burst of dairyland delicacy on the inside. Made with unaged, curdled milk with a mild, salty flavor and a springy, rubbery texture, cheese curds are known for the "squeak" they make when you bite into them. They are a natural byproduct of the cheesemaking process, most commonly cheddar.
Serve cheese curds in a variety of ways to reap the flavor benefits! Of course, you can always eat them fresh. Another includes the all-time favorite, deep-fried. Add dipping sauces for tasting options, too!! Choose from ranch, more cheese sauce, spicy sriracha, tangy dill, barbeque, and more. Cheese curds find their way into recipes, also. Poutine has been popular for decades.
