Curd
Mozzarella cheese curd is the fresh, unaged form of mozzarella cheese, consisting of solid white curds made from cow's s milk. These curds are the intermediate product in the mozzarella-making process before being stretched and formed into the familiar smooth, elastic balls of mozzarella. Mozzarella curds have a mild, milky flavor and a firm, springy texture, making them ideal for melting into dishes like pizza, lasagna, or used as a base for homemade mozzarella cheese
