Handgemaakte ambachtelijke kaaswrongel

I was worried fresh curds wouldn't survive shipping, but these arrived cold and still had that mild cheddar tang. Tossed a handful in a salad and let the rest come to room temp — the pasture-raised milk really comes through.

The squeak when I bite into these is exactly what I remember from my childhood, and the texture stays springy even after a day in the fridge. They're mild but rich with that fresh, grassy flavor you only get from pasture-raised cows.

I was skeptical about ordering cheese curds online but the squeak is genuinely there, just like getting them fresh at a dairy. The mild cheddar flavor is clean and not too salty, and they were still springy two days after arriving.
