Ingredients:
- 1 packet direct set mesophilic starter (see notes below)
- butter muslin (not cheesecloth! see notes below)
- cheese salt (optional)
- herbs (optional)
Directions:
- Allow the cream to come to room temperature (72F). Pour into a pot or container (stainless steel or glass) . Add the starter and mix thoroughly.
- Cover and let sit for 12 hours. A solid curd will form.
- Pour the curd into a colander lined with butter muslin. Tie the corners of the muslin and hang over a bowl to drain. This will take 12 hours or until the desired consistency. Changing the muslin once or twice will help speed the draining process.
- Place the cheese in a bowl. Add the salt and herbs, if desired.
- Place the cheese in small molds or containers (I used Gladware) and cool in the refrigerator. The cheese will firm up as it gets colder.
- Store in refrigerator for one to two weeks.
- *Notes: Mesophilic starter is used to put friendly bacteria into the milk and aid coagulation and develop the flavor of the cheese.
- You can order cheesemaking supplies online at a lot of sites. Try or .
- You will need to use butter muslin, not cheesecloth, as the holes in cheesecloth are too big. Butter muslin is available at the cheesemaking sites as well.
