Cheese Ingredients

Method

Cheese Making Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Milk

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

  2. 2

    Add Acid

    Once the milk is hot, remove it from heat and slowly stir in the white vinegar or lemon juice. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes until the 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 30 minutes or until the desired consistency is reached.

  4. 4

    Season the Cheese

    Once drained, transfer the curds to a bowl and mix in the salt and any optional herbs to taste.

  5. 5

    Shape and Store

    Transfer the cheese to a container and press it into a block or shape it as desired. Cover and refrigerate. The cheese can be used fresh or aged according to preference.
