About Wisconsin cheese curds

Wisconsin Cheese Curds are bite-sized nuggets of fresh cheese, primarily made from cow’s milk, often enjoyed as a staple of Midwestern cuisine. Originating in Wisconsin, the nation’s cheese capital, these curds are a product of the early stage in cheese production, preserving a mild, tangy flavor and springy texture. Typically made from cheddar or mozzarella, the curds are rich in protein, calcium, and Vitamin B12, which support strong bones and overall health. While fresh curds are enjoyed as-is, they are frequently battered and deep-fried, creating a crispy exterior and gooey center. This preparation adds extra calories, fat, and sodium, making moderation important for a balanced diet. Wisconsin Cheese Curds celebrate local dairy farming traditions and are widely beloved for their versatile taste, whether served fresh, pan-fried, or as an indulgent appetizer.
