Method

Cheese Making Directions

Prepare the Milk

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

Add Rennet

Remove the pot from heat and let it cool to 85°F (29°C). Add the rennet and stir gently for about 30 seconds. Then, cover the pot and let it sit undisturbed for 5-10 minutes until curds form.

Cut the Curds

Once curds have set, use a long knife to cut them into small cubes. Let them sit for another 5 minutes.

Heat the Curds

Slowly heat the curds to 105°F (40°C) while gently stirring. Maintain this temperature for about 30 minutes.

Drain the Curds

Line a colander with cheesecloth and pour the curds into it to drain the whey. Gather the cheesecloth and let the curds drain for about 30 minutes.

Add Salt

Once drained, transfer the curds to a bowl and mix in the salt. Adjust the salt to taste.

Press the Cheese

Shape the curds into a ball or disc and wrap them in the cheesecloth. Place a weight on top to press the cheese for about 1-2 hours.

Chill and Serve

After pressing, unwrap the cheese and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
