So what are Cheese Curds?

Simply put Cheese Curds are squeaky fresh, delectable
cheddar cheese in its natural, random shape and form
before being processed into blocks of cheddar.

Delectable cheddar cheese curds became popular when
Wisconsin cheese makers would take handfuls of
these delicious and nutritious cheese morsels home
to their children.

Cheese curds are the freshest form of cheddar cheese. Cheese curds are regarded mainly as a regional delicacy, exclusive to Wisconsin and other areas of the upper midwest as well as Quebec, Canada and Up-State New York. However, they are quickly growing in popularity and becoming more readily available to the entire country.

Our cheese curds are a calcium enriched, low carb, protein snack. They are a healthy alternative to junk food, processed snacks and preservative heavy snacks. Kids and adults alike love cheese curds.

Our cheese curds are famous for their unique "fresh curd" characteristics, particularly the "squeak." A distinct sqeaky noise and feeling can be experienced when eating fresh cheese curds. If a curd has lost its squeaky-ness, it can usually come back after a couple of seconds in a microwave.

A fresh curd is roughly the size and shape of a whole peanut. The natural flavor is a mild "fresh-dairy" taste. We offer several other flavor varieties including Taco, Cajun, Ranch, Garlic, and Aged Cheddar. The texture and feel are quite unique. They have about the same firmness as cheese, but have a springy or rubbery quality, rather than the yielding, clay-like texture of cheese.

Cheese curds are known for being quite addictive. Make sure to have plenty of them on hand and check out the many ways that cheese curds can be enjoyed, by searching other pages listed on this site.

Remember - our cheese can be frozen.
