curd
Cheese before pressing
Curd is the thick, soft substance that forms when milk coagulates—the solid part that separates from the liquid whey.
Curds are the basis for cheese-making and appear in dishes like curds and whey.
Bean curd is tofu.
The verb means to form curds: The milk curdled in the heat.
