Cheese Curds - How They’re Made | Know Your Wisconsin

- When you think of Wisconsin cuisine, what’s more iconic than the cheese curd? Whether you prefer them deep-fried or squeaky fresh, cheesemakers go through a specific process to make the curds we know and love today. Cheesemakers start by warming up a vat of milk and adding a bacterial starter culture to give the curds their mild cheese flavor. Then they add rennet which causes the milk protein to aggregate and stick together. The cheese is then cut into tiny pieces and pressed against the side walls to drain as much whey as possible before the “cheddaring” process begins.
What makes the squeaky sensation, you ask? Fresh curd is made of tightly woven protein mesh that’s held together by calcium. As you bite through the curd, the mesh rebounds and rubs across the enamel of your teeth. We agree with Bill Hanson from Arena Cheese who says, “A squeaky curd makes you happy!”

NOTHING tastes better than cheese curds and a cold beer
F yea!!
this is so cool! wisconsin does it like no one else in the world!
No way man! St-Albert has the best cheese curds. Fact is, Wisconsin stole the recipe from St-Albert and despite being so close to Canada, they have a hard time selling anything in Canada, because Saint Albert is just so much better!
Look at 1:55 the curds are being taken from the refrigerator as the narator explains to not refrigerate them.... What a fail! But the narator is correct. To prevent this from happening, St-Albert gives to stores special wood tables intentionally made too big so that it doesn't fit in the fridge. Its like a fruit display table, but for curds.
This kid loves them so much, he's trying all the great ones in the state. (But SO far to go on the tour.)
Are you doing poutine with this cheese?
A great prayer food for christians with. the crossaint (Afghanistan)
As a European it sounds weird to me to have Americans describe the process used to make every damn cheese on the planet as something weird and unique.
Just how the hell do you make your other cheeses if this is considered unusual?
This video was for people interested in how a SPECIFIC cheese product was made, not "every damn cheese" as you put it. And you know what's weird to Americans? The fact that you Europeans like to slather your saliva all over someone else's face with you greet them.
you eat beans on toast
