What it is
This is a dairy product made from milk that has been curdled and then separated into curds and whey. The "4%" refers to the milk fat content, indicating it is made with 4% milk fat. The "small curd" designation means the curds are smaller in size compared to large curd varieties. It has a mild, slightly tangy flavor and a creamy yet firm texture due to the small curds.
