It can be difficult to keep curd from going bad, especially when it's warm outside. These five easy steps will help it stay fresh 

Store in a Cool Place 

Always store curd in the refrigerator to slow down the fermentation process and keep it from souring. 

Use Fresh Milk 

Start with fresh, high-quality milk to make curd, as it ferments more slowly and remains sweet longer. 

Add a Pinch of Salt 

Adding a small amount of salt to the curd can help slow down the souring process.  

Keep Away from Warmth 

Avoid placing curd near the stove or in direct sunlight, as heat accelerates souring. 

Use a Clean Container 

Always use a clean, dry container to store curd, as contamination can speed up fermentation and souring.
