Fresh Plain Cheese Curd
NORTHERN NEW YORK. Locally-made cheese curd, produced weekly from farm-fresh whole milk, and salted to taste.
Cheese curds are made from pasteurized milk in the early steps of the cheese-making process, and when freshly made have a pleasant, squeaky texture when chewed!
Cheese curds lost their squeak?
We always ship out the freshest cheese curd we have in stock, however it's inevitable that they'll eventually lose their squeaky freshness, typically after a week or more. If this happens, there are two things you can do to bring the squeak back:
- Leave your cheese curd out to warm up to room temperature before eating.
- If that doesn't help, cheese curds can also be microwaved for just a few seconds to bring some of their squeak back.

My favorite holiday gift was Adams cheese curd and Crogan Bologna. Excellent mail-order packaging. Great products!

I grew up on Colosse cheese curd. Thanks Adams Cheese Shop for carrying on. Sorry Wisconsin, you just can’t compete with our NY curds.

Love the new flavors you are making. My favorite is the garlic and chive. Yum!!!

Lived in Belleville NY in the early 1990s and would be able to get this cheese within a few hours after going out on the shelf. Live in Mississippi now, but this is without a doubt THE BEST cheese curd ever. Would salt it and put it in the microwave for 10 seconds. Perfection. Will be ordering some this coming Monday

This is “the” cheese curd you know and love. If you grew up eating cheese curd anywhere in the Northern New York region, chances are pretty good it was by Great Lakes. (Yes, I hate to be the one to break the illusion, but even River Rat’s cheese curd is just Great Lakes repackaged with their own label!) Fresh, squeaky, and salty… a great traditional upstate taste.
