Cheese Ingredients

Seasoning and Coating

Method

Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Heat the Milk

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

  2. 2

    Add Vinegar and Rennet

    Once the milk reaches 190°F, remove it from heat. Stir in the white vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, dissolve the rennet in 1 cup of water and add it to the milk, stirring gently for about 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Curds Formation

    Let the mixture sit undisturbed for about 5-10 minutes until curds form and separate from the whey. The curds should be soft and slightly springy.

  4. 4

    Drain the Curds

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer the curds into a colander lined with cheesecloth. Allow the whey to drain for about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Knead the Curds

    Gather the edges of the cheesecloth and twist to form a pouch. Pour hot water (about 170°F or 77°C) over the curds. Knead the curds in the cheesecloth for about 5-10 minutes until they become smooth and elastic.

  6. 6

    Form Cheese Logs

    Divide the cheese into equal portions and shape each portion into log shapes. Place them in a dish.

  7. 7

    Salt the Cheese

    Sprinkle the salt evenly over the cheese logs, turning them to coat all sides.

Seasoning and Coating

  1. 8

    Prepare Seasoning

    In a small bowl, combine Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.

  2. 9

    Coat the Cheese Logs

    Drizzle olive oil over the cheese logs. Then, sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the logs, ensuring even coverage. Use your hands to gently press the seasoning onto the cheese.

  3. 10

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate the mozzarella logs for at least 30 minutes before serving. Cut into slices and enjoy as a snack or appetizer.
