I bought some cheese curds last week - so called "squeaky cheese". What a rip-off. They don't squeak or make any noise at all.

Evo said:Oooh, what is "squeeky cheese"?
Squeakycheese (cheese curd) is fresh, young cheddar cheese in the natural, random shape and form before being processed into blocks and aged. (Cheddar cheese is typically aged from 60 days to 4 years before being sold.) It's most amazing quality of course is that it squeaks when it's eaten. SqueakyCheese is it's very best at room temperature or even slightly warmed. Unlike the aged variety of Cheddar, curds lose their desirable qualities if refrigerated or stored for a long period of time (the squeak disappears and they turn dry and salty). This means that even if you can find them in ordinary supermarkets, they are probably a few weeks old, and will have lost their incredible taste. But the freshly made and rush shipped cheese curds from squeakycheese.com still have their moist squeaky properties.

lisab said:Maybe it's shy cheese. After a while, it'll start to relax, once it gets to know you better. Then it'll start to squeak. It will sqeak more and more and more...pretty soon you won't be able to shut it up!
Math Is Hard said:"Hello, I'd like to return this cheese."
"what's the problem?"
"It's very shy."
"What sort of wine did you have with it?"
"Wine? No wine."
"Well, there's your problem. One always drinks wine with cheese. Helps the cheese relax."

"Squeaky Cheese" curds are considered disappointing because they do not have the characteristic texture and flavor that is expected from traditional curds. They do not have the desirable squeak when chewed and can have a rubbery or tough consistency.
Despite the disappointment, some people may still enjoy "Squeaky Cheese" curds for their novelty or for the potential health benefits of consuming cheese. However, they may not be considered a true representation of traditional curds.
The squeak in cheese curds comes from the moisture in the curds rubbing against each other. When "Squeaky Cheese" curds are mass-produced and stored for longer periods of time, they lose their moisture and therefore their squeak.
While "Squeaky Cheese" curds may not have the desired texture and flavor, they still contain protein and calcium, which are important nutrients for the body. However, there are healthier options for consuming these nutrients through other types of cheese or foods.
Some manufacturers have experimented with different production processes and ingredients to try and improve the quality of "Squeaky Cheese" curds. However, the best way to ensure high-quality curds is to purchase them from a reputable and traditional source.
