Why National Cheese Curd Day?
Cheese curds are bite-sized nuggets of fried cheddar cheese so designating a full day to it seems apt because it’s just so good!
National Cheese Curd Day sounds weird, but if you look at it or make it and then have it, you’ll know how amazing it tastes and the reason why it is so popular worldwide. Except for the lactose intolerant (sorry you’re missing out on something amazing), there are only a few numbers of people who’ll either hate or not be happy by cheese curd.
You can either make cheese curd at your home or try a new dish outside in which cheese curd is used this day. This will allow you to try an entirely new thing, and who knows, maybe it’ll turn into your favorite dish out there? Cheese curds are unique, be it the way they taste, smell, or coated and deep-fried to a golden brown in various dishes. There is a variety here you cannot escape from.
When you try the coated and deep-fried golden brown cheddar cheese, firstly, you’ll feel the warm buttery crunch on the outside, and next, out of nowhere, you’ll get an ooey-gooey burst of dairyland delicacy on the inside. This is one of the most famous dishes in Wisconsin, and trying this out when you go there should be on your eating bucket list!
You can even use cheese curd in various types of dips ranging from the ranch, more cheese sauce, spicy siracha, tangy dill, barbeque, and more. Cheese curd has found its way into so many dishes as well – Poutine is the one who has it for decades now. Poutine is a dish which is made of French fries topped with cheese curd and gravy.
Curd is sometimes called squeaky cheese as well. If you’re thinking of making the cheese curd yourself, we’re here to help you out. All you need is fresh pasteurized milk, bacterial culture, and rennet. Add bacterial culture and rennet to the milk to clot it and after it clots, cut it into cubes which consist of whey and curd. This mixture then needs to be cooked and pressed so that the whey can be removed, and then all you’re left with is cheese curd which can be eaten raw or used to make something else completely, easy, right?
This cheese curd can be used in various ways like fresh, fried, in paneer, poutine, etc. If you want to have it fresh, then you can eat it as a snack, finger food, or an appetizer. Deep friend ones can be used in cheese balls, onion rings, etc. Paneer can be made out of it, which is nothing but cottage cheese and is widely used in Indian dishes.
