Ingredients
Rennet cheese
4
litres
udder warm milk or heated to 32 degrees celsius
1/4
tsp
Calf rennet
Sweet option flavour choices
Honey, Maple syrup plus salt
Savory
Herbs & spices of any choice
Instructions
Stir rennet into milk once at 32 degrees celsius
Sit on bench covered for the day & overnight (I like a pretty glass jar with lid or a stainless steel milk pail with lid)
In the morning strain the cheese through a cheese cloth lined colander.
You can Add herbs and spices & salt at this point and stir through, if prefer sweet option wait until hung for a while.
Tie up cheesecloth and hang from something, have a bowl underneath to catch drips of whey
Once strained to desired consistency take out of cheesecloth
Add flavours, either sweet or savoury.
For a rustic texture just stir through.
My preference is to blend it to make It smooth, it creates amazing flavour profile & texture
