Urdă[1] (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈurdə], Template:Lang-sr, Template:Lang-bg, Template:Lang-mk, Template:Lang-uk, Template:Lang-hu) is a sort of whey cheese variously claimed to be originally from Romania[2] (and Moldova), but now commonly produced in the Balkans, namely in Serbia,[3] North Macedonia[2][4][5] and Hungary.[6]

Urda is made from whey of sheep, goat or cow milk. Urdă 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.

In Romania, urdă is traditionally used in the preparation of several desserts, such as clătită and plăcintă. Urda is also traditionally prepared in Serbia, notably in the southern region of Pirot.

Urdă is similar to ricotta in the way it is produced.
