Curd is the solid part of milk that has curdled (coagulated), whey is the watery part. This separation can take place naturally as milk sours. In cheesemaking, this process is initiated by adding rennet or an acid substance such as lemon juice or vinegar which causes the milk proteins to form solid masses (curds).
