Today on a drive to Northern California, I stopped at Bravo Farms in Traver, CA. They purported to make cheese curds. Upon tasting for myself, I found the Cali curd tastes much like blocks of cheddar. A WI cheese curd is a squeaky morsel, a CA curd a torn block. The woman at the check out counter explained the taste of the California curd by saying California requires the cheese to be pasteurized. Whatever it is, WI curds still reign.
Take for instance this link to a Wisconsin Cheese Curd map you can follow to find curds across the state.
I will continue to search for California curds.
