About

Curd is the most basic fresh cheese that you can make yourself without the use of rennet or other additives. It’s not widely available in stores, but making it is so uncomplicated that you should definitely try to do so yourself. Just remember to begin a day in advance! The yogurt needs to drain overnight. Briefly smoke the curd, and you won’t believe just how wonderful it will taste.
