curd cheese
Soft white cheese
Curd cheese is a fresh cheese made from the curds of milk—the solid parts that form when milk coagulates.
Unlike aged cheeses, curd cheese is soft, mild, and meant to be eaten soon after making.
Cottage cheese and farmer's cheese are common examples.
The term sometimes appears as a translation of German *Quark* or similar European fresh cheeses.
