Looking for Curd Cheese
Asked on 15 Mar 2021 by SW
The curd cheesecake with Greek Yoghurt and Honey looks great but I don't quite understand what is meant by curd cheese. Is this something I can buy in a supermarket - if so, what brands?

Hello,
We used to but this at the deli counter in Waitrose but it’s been a while so perhaps they no longer have it.
If you can’t get it you can use full fat cream cheese instead.
Best wishes

Thanks for that - I just checked and Waitrose don't stock it any more. Nor does my local morrisons. I will have to use cream cheese but I would still be interested to know what difference using curd cheese would make to the flavour/texture in case I find it in future.
Curd cheese is similar to cream cheese but with a lower fat content and it, like cottage cheese, has had a lactic starter added. This gives it a light acidity and a light flavour, colour and texture.
It is sometimes called medium-fat soft cheese. For cheesecakes it gives a lighter flavour and texture.
