Buying this cheese as a curd is not only fun, it helps cheddar producers survive by bringing in a little money for all their cheesemaking expenses without them having to wait years to get paid!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Special thanks to Gordon Edgar, cheesemonger&nbsp;at Rainbow Grocery in San Francisco and author of <strong>Cheddar<\/strong><strong><span id=\"ebooksProductTitle\" class=\"a-size-extra-large\">: A Journey to the Heart of America\u2019s Most Iconic Cheese.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Check out these cheese curd recipes:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/recipes\/home-fries-cheese-curds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Homefries with Cheese Curds<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/recipes\/classic-canadian-poutine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Classic Canadian Poutine<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/recipes\/turkey-meatloaf-studded-cheese-curds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Turkey Meatloaf Studded with Cheese Curds<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gordon Edgar of Rainbow Grocery in San Francisco lays out the difference between cheddar curds and the cheese itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":97,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[2087,1148,672,1412,4164,4165,4166,724],"coauthors":[645],"class_list":["post-34873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ask-the-monger","tag-cheese","tag-cheese-curds","tag-cheesemonger","tag-gordon-edgar","tag-gordon-gordonzola-edgar","tag-gordonzola","tag-rainbow-grocery","tag-san-francisco"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.4 (Yoast SEO v24.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ask the Monger: What\u2019s the Difference Between Cheese Curds and Cheese?
