from http://www.deliaonline.com/ingredients/ingredientsatoz/i_0000000076.asp:

Curd cheese is similar to cream cheese but with a lower fat content and it, like 
cottage cheese, has had a lactic starter added. This gives it a light acidity and a 
light flavour, colour and texture. It is sometimes called medium-fat soft cheese. I 
like it best of all for cheesecakes because it gives them a lighter flavour and 
texture.

so its like ricotta?
