cheese?
Hi everyone
I would like to try to do cheese by myself...anyone ever tried?
Specifically my goal is to do mozzarella cheese soon or later...but I think I will start from soft cheese like ricotta before.
I would like to know your experiences regarding cheese making.

Yeah ! I tried...the first step at least!
I made something similar to Ricotta Cheese.
I found a couple of tutorial and without the rennet it looks it is the only thing I can produce. I think for you is called cottage cheese...we called it "primo-sale" in Italy. It is easier than I thought!!!

Now it is cooling down in the refrigerator.
Basically you warm up the milk than when it is warm you put some lemon juice and let it rest. After 10-15 min you can filter the cheese from its water...press a little bit...I will tell you about the taste.
No, I don't have any animals (milk animals...my cat doesn't count for this) I simply bought the milk at the supermarket. But if it comes out good and I found the rennet I will look for a farmer that can sell me the milk directly .
...I hope I can do mozzarella ...I miss mozzarella so much!!

Will do! I looked up the uses for the leftover whey. It can be used in place of water in making breads, fermenting cabbage, smoothies, pour it over the dogs dry kibble and even water tomato planets (USE sweet whey NOT the acidic whey seems they benefit from the added calcium).

Wow! Amazing...thanks to those advises you don't waste anything!! I am pretty happy about this new "cheese-thing"...it is the first time in a while that I could involve my husband in one of my hobbies...he is not working at the moment and he start to be...annoying...so if he find something to do...it's a win-win!
