Inhalt nur auf Englisch verfügbar

Curd snack is a type of sweet snack made from curd cheese.

The main part of a curd snack is made from milled and pressed curd, and ingredients such as sugar, sweetener or other products. They can also have a filling such as raisins, jam or other fillings. They also sometimes have no filling and are glazed with chocolate or cream with berry or fruit flavours.

The traditional flavour is Vanilla, which is acquired using synthetic Vanillin. The most common is chocolate coating, although others are used. Instead of cocoa oil, palm oil is often used in the coating, there are curd snacks that feature natural chocolate and vanilla.

Curd snacks are popular in Russia, other former USSR republics, Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), Hungary (Túró Rudi), Poland and Romania among others.
