Again??? Awright, who told this lady I was dumb???

Ahem. New cheese is probably literally that, curds just far enough along
to hold together in a lump, like... you know... cheese. Very fresh,
possibly solid, cheese, such as fresh chevre or perhaps mozzarella.
Anything from Latino queso blanco, fresh mozzarella, any of those fresh
yogurt-y goat cheeses, cream cheese, etc. Curd cheeses such as ricotta
_might_ be what is referred to, but usually you can tell from a recipe's
context.
