Making your own cheese

Have you ever done it? What kind did you make? Did you use a recipe of any kind? How did it turn out? Any tips, tutorials, etc. you want to share?

I've never done it before, but I'd be game to try!

Re: Making your own cheese

I've made a few kinds. Cheddar went horribly wrong, but mozz is pretty easy, plus you get some bonus ricotta out of it. The one I want to make again, though, is parmesan. When I first cut into it I thought it had gone the way of the cheddar, and it smelled like the powdered stuff in mac and cheese. But it tasted AMAZING! I was sad to see it go. Mmmm... I want to try brie, but it seems kind of challenging and the culture is expensive to get from the store. I wonder sometimes if I couldn't just scrape some off of a store-bought rind.

Re: Making your own cheese

Actually, some of the best nachos I've eaten had vegan cheese on them...probably not cashew, but it just goes to show that good does not have to mean traditional.

Re: Making your own cheese

There is an ETSY seller that has great kits to start learning how to make cheese...

she's got videos, somewhere, maybe her website...

good deal...

she even does free samples of the cheese-making powder at her sales events... last time I heard...

I think she is in Portland Oregon, but not sure...

You can probably search the shops for her.

Starter kits are a wonderful addition to the world of food... :-)
