Cheese Recipe

Cheese Making Directions

1. 1

   Heat the Milk

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

2. 2

   Add Vinegar

   Once the milk is heated, remove it from heat and stir in the white vinegar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the curds form and separate from the whey.

3. 3

   Strain the Curds

   Line a colander with cheesecloth and pour the curds and whey mixture into it. Allow the whey to drain for about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Rinse and Season

   Rinse the curds under cold water to remove any vinegar taste. Sprinkle salt over the curds and mix gently.

5. 5

   Shape the Cheese

   Gather the cheesecloth and form the curds into a ball. Tie the cheesecloth and hang it to drain for another 30 minutes to an hour, depending on desired firmness.

6. 6

   Serve or Store

   Once the cheese has drained to your liking, remove it from the cheesecloth. You can serve it immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
