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 heated, remove it from heat and slowly stir in the vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until curds form.

  3. 3

    Strain the Curds

    Place a cheesecloth over a colander and pour the curds and whey into it. Allow it to drain for about 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Season the Cheese

    After draining, transfer the curds to a bowl and mix in the salt and herbs, if using. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    Shape the Cheese

    Form the cheese into a ball or log shape and wrap it in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
