A 1 ounce serving of unaged cheddar cheese curds contains 10 g of fat, including 6 g of saturated fat.
No, while pot cheese is more like a fondue, cheese curds are just like clumps of cheese and milk.
Cheese contains fat derived from milk, found within the curds formed during the cheese-making process. The fat content varies among cheese types based on the milk used and production techniques. For instance, Italian cream cheese, its content is 70% to 75% milk fat.
To find the fat content in milk, you have to curdle the milk, then drain it through a cheese cloth so that all you have are the lumps that look like cheese. Then you must weight those curds and the weight is the fat content. :)
If you add acid it will continue to curdle the cheese and make the curds firmer.
Rennet gets added to milk to form curds and whey. It is the curds that go on to form the cheese.

Rennet is used to separate milk into curds and whey. The curds is a solid that is processed into cheese.
Curds and whey are the two main components of milk when it is coagulated. Curds are the solid part, which includes proteins and fats, while whey is the liquid part containing water, minerals, lactose, and some proteins. When making cheese, curds are formed by separating them from the whey.
Probably by someone leaving milk out to sour, causing it to split into curds and whey. Curds are the most basic form of cheese.
I believe they have to do with the cheese making process. They are an ingredient in cheese.
"Curds" - when milk is used for cheesemaking, it is separated into curds (the milk solids) and whey (a watery residue) by the addition of an acid, or rennet (an enzyme). The curds are then processed to become many different forms of cheese, but the cheese which most closely resembles curds in it's unprocessed form is "cottage cheese".
There are many types of curds. Many foods will form clumps that are referred to as curds. Cheese is probably the most common. If you are referring to curds and whey, then you are referring to lumps of cheese floating in the water that separates from milk when acid is added and the milk protein clumps together to form cheese.
