Curds are made by curdling milk with an acid like vinegar, lemon juice, or rennet. Raw milk can be curdled by adding lactic acid bacteria, which is then used to make sour milk cheeses. By increasing the acid in milk, it causes the milk proteins to bind to each other, resulting in the curds. When making curds, the liquid that rises to the top, that is drained off is known as whey.
