uncurdled

Not yet clotted

Uncurdled describes milk or a similar liquid that has not separated into curds and whey—still smooth and uniform rather than clumped or coagulated.

The word appears most often in cooking contexts: Add the lemon juice slowly to keep the cream uncurdled.

Figuratively, uncurdled can suggest something that remains untroubled or unspoiled: Her optimism stayed uncurdled by disappointment.
