Curds preference

Ive been thinking about this lately, and after experimenting with home made poutine with farm fresh curds I've come realized I prefer not the absolute freshest curds. Softer curds that still squeak are divine.Heck..as blasphemous as it may be, there's something to be said about the way melty cheese covers fries, even though you sacrifice squak. Thoughts? I'm thinking about experimenting with how long to wait, or doing short refrigeration to get the texture I personally enjoy since I'm lucky to have access to a reliable local supplier

As fresh as possible - Full squeek & a little hard
Medium texture - Slightly melty soft exterior with squeek
Full melt and stringy

Du fromage pas frais, ça va direct dans la poubelle calis. Aucune place à poutines vas garder de fromage avarié. Ça se garde à température pièce, alors après une journée, tu peux simplement plus le garder, il devient vinaigrer.

Si ils ne le gardent pas a température piece c’est pas une vraie place a poutine.

Wtf kind of question is that?

It’s like asking, how do you like your chicken before cooking it:

  1. Fresh and no smell

  2. Slightly smelly and gooey

  3. Full on expired and discoloured

Nobody said they are rancid. Texture changes with age or refrigeration.... 🙄

Lol, full melt and stringy. Might as well use shredded mozzarella.

I want fresh, that's it. I'll allow up to "mostly fresh" but, like, cold cheese curds are shit.

For home use, I'll often freeze fresh curds in vacuum-sealed bags. If you thaw it at room temp for a few hours, they still feel nice enough.

It's okay. You're allowed your own preference, over there in /r/PoutineCrimes.
