Some Cheese History
Cheese has a long and rich history. Here are just a few notable events in the history of cheese:
~2000 BC * Egyptian tomb murals bring us some of the earliest archeological evidence of cheesemaking. These cheeses were likely to have been very sour and salty (lots of salt was needed to preserve the cheese in the hot, arid climate).
~1050 BC * Jesse sent ten cheeses with his son David when he went to check on his brothers as they were cowering in fear before Goliath (1 Samuel 17).
~800 BC * Homer’s Odyssey describes the Cyclops making and storing sheep’s and goats’ milk cheese

What Are Cheese Curds?
Many people love cheese curds. They eat them raw, deep fry them, or dip them in fondue. But what are they and how are they made?
What Are Curds?
Cheese curds are fresh, young cheddar cheese in the natural, random shape and form before they are processed into blocks and aged. Their flavor is mild, with about the same firmness as cheese, but with a springy or rubbery texture. They may be white or colored.
