Ingredients:

Serving

1 gallon whole milk ( not ultrapasturized)
5 cups buttermilk
1/2 tsp salt (optional)

Directions:

Put milk and buttermilk into large, stainless or enamel pan (NOT Aluminium), heat gently to 170°F stirring occasionally (measure with candy thermometer).
Once the milk reaches 170°F do NOT stir any more (otherwise you will break-up the curds).
Continue heating to 190°F and hold for 5 minute then skim the curds from the whey with a slotted spoon onto 4 layers of moist cheese cloth supported in a colander.
Drain in the colander for ~5min. then pull up the corners of the cheesecloth and tie.
Hang the cheesecloth on the faucet to drain for a further 15 minute or so.
Mix with the salt if desired.
Can be frozen.
