      You can't really freeze cheese curds for long term storage like you can with weird meats.

  • @simplynel5318
    @simplynel5318 3 года назад +190

    For people wondering: cheese curds used in poutine are moist pieces of curdled milk, I believe they are a cheddar type of cheese. They need to be fresh (usually bought the same day they are produced) because the longer you wait the drier they get and the less "squeaky" they become. Also the reason why it's almost impossible to freeze them, therefore making them hard to get outside of the areas that produce them (Quebec &Wisconsin mainly).

    • @christianvachon2235
      @christianvachon2235 2 года назад +4

      @@telanis9 They are from cheddar production actually and originally from the area near Victoriaville. But they are fresh curds from the day and are not usually salty (in fact, in Warwick, Québec they sell completely unsalted curds). I haven't found them in many places outside Québec - St.Albert in Ontario was the only other place. But the real ones are super fresh from the daily milk production.

    It’s actually really easy to make your own curd balls. I make paneer balls by seasoning a gallon of room temp whole milk, bringing it to a boil while stirring, adding roughly 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice or white vinegar, turn off the heat and stir. Then drain the whey from the separated curds by pouring into a cheesecloth lined colander. Rinse with cool water, drain, and as soon as you can handle it, form balls by alternately rolling and squeezing curd chunks between your palms.

I can't believe there are people who get out there and act like snobs over a 3 ingredients, 5$ dive snack. If it tastes good, makes you feel good and ideally shortens your lifespan then it's a good poutine.
    True poutine comes from (and goes for) the heart.

    "Making the cheese soften but not melt"

    • @marvel__ink
      @marvel__ink 4 года назад +4

      I can confirm also that warm, but unmelted cheese curds are the way to go. Moreover, cheese curds are made from cheddar, though not aged; not mozzarella. In this instance, you'd be better off going for cheddar cubes than mozzarella made to look like cheese curds, after all, when it comes to poutine, taste is paramount, certainly not looks. Those potatoes and gravy do seem delicious, I'll admit. 7/10
