Method

Cheese Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Heat the Milk

    In a large pot, heat the milk over medium heat until it starts to steam, but do not let it boil.

  2. 2

    Add Lemon Juice and Salt

    Once the milk is steaming, remove it from heat and stir in the lemon juice and salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until curds form.

  3. 3

    Strain the Curds

    Line a colander with cheesecloth and pour the curds into it. Allow the whey to drain out for 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Shape the Cheese

    Once drained, gather the cheesecloth and squeeze out any remaining whey. Form the cheese into a ball or block and wrap it tightly in the cheesecloth.

Herb Infusion Preparation

  1. 5

    Chop the Herbs

    Finely chop the fresh basil and oregano, and mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 6

    Mix with Cheese

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shaped cheese with the chopped herbs and garlic. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

  3. 7

    Rest the Cheese

    Wrap the cheese in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving the Cheese

  1. 8

    Prepare the Serving Plate

    Slice the crusty bread and arrange it on a serving platter.

  2. 9

    Drizzle with Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar

    Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the bread.

  3. 10

    Serve with Cheese

    Place the herbed cheese on the platter alongside the bread. Enjoy with friends and family!
