55 Cancri (pronounced /ˈkæŋkraɪ/ or /ˈkæŋkriː/), also cataloged Rho1 Cancri or abbreviated 55 Cnc, is a binary star approximately 41 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Cancer. The system consists of a yellow dwarf star and a smaller red dwarf star, separated by over 1,000 AUs (the distance from the Earth to the Sun).

As of 2009, five extrasolar planets have been confirmed to be orbiting the primary, 55 Cancri A (the yellow dwarf). The innermost planet is thought to be a terrestrial “super-Earth” planet, with a mass similar to Neptune, while the outermost planets are thought to be Jovian planets with masses similar to Jupiter. As of September 2008[update], the 55 Cancri system is the only planetary system (except for our own) known to have five planets,[4] and may possibly have more. 55 Cancri A is ranked 63rd in the list of top 100 target stars for the NASA Terrestrial Planet Finder mission.[5]

Cuajada is a compact, almost cheese-like product (milk curd), like curd “grains” condensed tightly to make a cheese of some sort, made traditionally from ewe’s milk, but industrially and more often today from cow’s milk. It is popular in the north-eastern regions of Spain (Basque Country, Navarre, Castilla y León, La Rioja).

Cuajada is usually served as dessert with honey and walnuts or sometimes sugar, and, less often, for breakfast with fruit or honey. Raw warmed milk is mixed with rennet or with plant extracts and left to curdle. It was traditionally made in a wooden recipient called a kaiku and heated with a red-hot poker, giving it a distinct faintly burned taste. Cuajada means ‘curdled’ in Spanish. In Basque, it is called mamia.

A similar product named Coalhada is found mostly in northeast Brazil, especially in rural areas. It is made from curdled milk (specifically boiled) and yoghurt. Recipes vary but usually contain sugar and/or fruit juices for sweetness.
