Urda (Albanian : urdha , indefinite form : urdhë ; Bulgarian : урда, извара, romanized : urda, izvara ; Macedonian : урда, изварка, romanized : urda, izvarka ; Romanian : urdă ; Serbian : вурда / vurda ; Ukrainian : вурда, romanized : vurda ; Hungarian : orda, zsendice ) is a sort of whey cheese commonly produced in Southeast Europe , and Hungary .
Etymology
The name derives from Albanian urdhë/urdha , from Proto-Albanian *wurdā , from an earlier form *urdā or *uordā , ultimately derived from Proto-Indo-European *uer- "to boil, to burn". It is cognate to Old Armenian վառիմ (vaṙim , "to burn"), Lithuanian vìrti ("to cook, to boil"). It is semantically relevant that this cheese is produced by boiling whey . The Albanian term urdhë/urdha has been borrowed to other Balkan and Carpathian languages, notably Romanian urdă , but also Bulgarian , Hungarian , Serbian , Slovak , Rusyn , Polish , Czech , and Russian languages.
Production
Urda is made from whey of sheep , goat or cow milk. Urda is produced by heating the whey resulting from the draining of any type of cheese. It is often made into molds to the shape of a half sphere. The paste is finely grained, silky and palatable. It contains 18 grams of protein per 100 grams.
Urda is similar to ricotta in the way it is produced.
