Maitojuusto

Maitojuusto, also known as "cheese curd" or "curd cheese," is a traditional Finnish cheese made from cow's milk. The production process involves heating the milk to a high temperature, which causes the milk proteins to coagulate and form a curd. The curd is then cut into small pieces and pressed to remove excess whey. The resulting cheese is typically white or light yellow in color, with a mild, slightly tangy flavor.

Maitojuusto is often used as a topping for bread, pasta, or other dishes, or it can be eaten on its own. It is also commonly used in Finnish cuisine, where it is often served with rye bread and butter. The cheese has a relatively short shelf life and is typically consumed within a few days of production.

Maitojuusto is a versatile cheese that can be used in a variety of dishes, from simple snacks to more complex meals. Its mild flavor and creamy texture make it a popular choice for both traditional and modern Finnish cuisine. The cheese is also known for its nutritional value, as it is a good source of protein and calcium.
