Hello, visitors! Curds are a dairy product obtained by curdling (coagulating) milk with rennet or an edible acidic substance such as lemon juice or vinegar, and then draining off the liquid portion (called whey). Milk that has been left to sour (raw milk alone or pasteurized milk with added lactic acid bacteria or yeast) will also naturally produce curds, and sour milk cheese is produced this way. The increased acidity causes the milk proteins (casein) to tangle into solid masses, or curds. The rest, which contains only whey proteins, is the whey. In cow's milk, 80% of the proteins are caseins. Curd products vary by region and include cottage cheese, quark (both curdled by bacteria and sometimes also rennet) and paneer (curdled with lemon juice). The word can also refer to a non-dairy substance of similar appearance or consistency, though in these cases a modifier or the word curdled is generally used (e.g., bean curds, lemon curd, or curdled eggs). In England, curds produced from the use of rennet is referred to as junket, with true curds and whey only occurring from the natural separation of milk due to its environment (temperature, acidity). In Asia, curds are essentially a vegetarian preparation using yeast to ferment the milk. In some places in Indian subcontinent, particularly in North India, buffalo milk is used for curd due to its higher fat content, making a thicker curd. The quality of curds depends on the starter used. The time taken to curdle also varies with the seasons, taking less than 6 hours in hot weather and up to 16 hours in cold weather. In the industry, an optimal temperature of 43 °C for 4–6 hours is used for preparation. In India, the word curd means only plain yogurt or dahi. In South India, it is common practice to finish any meal with yogurt or buttermilk. In Sweden, curds is a major ingredient of the traditional baked cheesecakes Ostkaka (with egg, flour, almonds), which is eaten with jam and cream. In Turkey, curds are called keÅï¿½ and are very common for breakfast served on fried bread and also is eaten with macaroni in the provinces of Bolu and Zonguldak. Cheese curds Cheese curds, drained of the whey and served without further processing or aging, are popular in some French-speaking regions of Canada, such as Quebec and parts of Ontario. The image to the right shows freshly made morsels of Cheddar cheese before being pressed and aged. In Quebec and Eastern Ontario, cheese curds are popularly served with french fries and gravy as poutine. In some parts of the U.S., they are breaded and fried, or are eaten straight. Cheese curds may also be coated with a powdered flavoring agent and sold as a snack food in a fashion similar to flavored potato chips.

And you don't know why you have gone bankrupt. Please. This is witty. Not facebook. Nobody really wants to talk about curd on here. No hate, but seriously? This is a place for feelings. NOT curd. Please just go find facebook.

CurdTopia would like to thank all of our supporters and staff members. We have closed most of our locations around North America. Nobody really knows why, but CurdTopia has gone bankrupt. We would love to open a new version of CurdTopia by fall 2013! But until then, have a curd day!
Thanks!
