The Nevadan Recipe

Cheese Making Process

1. 1

   Prepare the Milk

   In a large pot, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it reaches about 190°F (88°C). Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.

2. 2

   Add the Vinegar

   Once the milk is heated, remove it from the heat and gently stir in the white vinegar. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until curds form.

3. 3

   Strain the Curds

   Line a colander with cheesecloth and pour the curds and whey into it. Let it drain for about 15-20 minutes.

4. 4

   Season the Cheese

   Once drained, transfer the curds to a bowl. Add salt and your choice of herbs, mixing gently to combine.

5. 5

   Shape the Cheese

   Form the cheese into a ball or any desired shape. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
