Urdă () is a Romanian whey cheese made from small-milk sheep, goats, or cows. It has nothing to do with the cheese of Israel that bears the same name.

Introduction
It is produced by heating the milk resulting from the draining of any type of sheep's milk cheese. It is often made in half-sphere moulds. The dough is finely granular, silky and pleasant to taste.

Since it has been produced by Romanian shepherds since time immemorial in Romania, it is considered a traditional Romanian dairy product.

It takes between 10 and milk to get urdă. It is used in the preparation of several desserts (cakes, pancakes, etc.), including clătită and plăcintă. In these dishes, it is mixed with eggs and is embellished with aromatic herbs (fennel and thyme being the herbs used most often for this purpose).
