Cheese that’s young, fresh, and dangerously snackable.
Curds First is mild, rich, a little salty, and amazing straight from the bag. It’s just as tasty cooked, fried or sprinkled over anything that needs a little squeaky joy — from breakfast to late-night decisions.
Fresh milk. Real squeak. No apologies.
Cheese curds are what happens when fresh milk and simple care meet.
They’re the earliest form of cheese — small, springy pieces of fresh cheddar bits with a clean, milky flavour, a hint of salt and that famous squeak when you bite in.
For Home Cooks and Chefs Alike
Whether you’re snacking straight from the bag or plating up for a crowd, Curds First.
At home, our curds are a perfect fresh snack or quick ingredient for toasties, BBQs, salads, omelettes, or weekend cooking.
For restaurants, they're a chance to serve something real — a true cheese curd that softens, squeaks and transforms a dish like poutine into the genuine thing.
(Because if it's cheese sauce, it's not poutine.)
The New Fast Food
Curds make good food better.
Toss them through hot chips, fold them into eggs, melt them over toasties, or just eat them before the pan gets hot — we won't judge.
Born in Canada. Perfected here.
See what the hype is about.
Back in Québec, cheese curds are everywhere.

We're on a mission to help Kiwis fall in love with Québec's iconic squeaky cheese.
Get your squeak on
Our curds are made weekly, packed fresh, and delivered chilled to keep that bounce alive.
Snack straight, cook creatively, or start a small household addiction — your call.
