Experience the rich, creamy flavor of Pleasant Ridge Reserve, a delightful artisanal cheese that boasts a nutty undertone and a hint of sweetness. Crafted from the finest raw cow's milk, this award-winning cheese is aged to perfection, offering a smooth texture that melts in your mouth. Perfectly paired with a crisp apple or a drizzle of honey, it's an indulgent treat that elevates any cheese board or charcuterie spread.

In a large pot, heat the cow's milk to 32°C (90°F). Stir gently to avoid scorching.

Milk Preparation

Once the milk reaches 32°C, add the mesophilic starter culture. Stir gently and let it sit for 30 minutes to ripen.

Adding Cultures

Dissolve the rennet in a small amount of cool, non-chlorinated water. Add this to the milk and stir gently for about 30 seconds. Allow it to sit undisturbed for 60 minutes until it sets.

Coagulation

Once the curd is set, cut it into 1-inch cubes using a long knife. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

Cutting the Curd

Gently heat the curds to 38°C (100°F) over the next 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the curds from clumping.

Cooking the Curd

Once the curds have reached the desired temperature, pour the curds and whey into a colander lined with cheesecloth. Allow the whey to drain for 5-10 minutes.

Draining the Whey

Transfer the curds to a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Mix gently and pack into a cheese mold.

Salting

Press the cheese with weights for about 6 hours, flipping it halfway through.

Pressing

After pressing, remove the cheese from the mold, dry it, and coat it with cheese wax to prevent moisture loss.

Waxing

Store the cheese in a cool, humid place for 3-6 months to develop flavor.
