Preparation

(You can get the cheese molds from amazon, click here.

  1. Warm the cow’s or goat’s milk on the stove, you want it just warm (between 30-40C or 85-105F) , check the temperature to make sure.
  2. Crush the rennet tablets, mix it with the salt and then pour the warm milk on top and mix very well.
  3. Let it sit for 45 minutes, so you can now start spooning the cheese into the cheese molds with a slotted spoon.
  4. Place each mold on a deep plate, devide the cheese into the molds evenly, while letting the whey drain out, make sure to empty the liquid from the plates before placing the cheeses in the refrigerator.
  5. For the next 2 days, it will drain out whey, but empty the plates so it doesn't over flow, tilting the mold and using a spoon to press it down.
  6. On the third day, it should have very little or no whey coming out and the cheese should be firm.
  7. Enjoy your homemade fresh cheese.

For standard rennet powder, you must use half teaspoon only.

I can't seem to find the cheese molds that the recipe calls for. What would be a good substitute? Many thanks

What you can do, cut off the bottom of 3 medium sized, round plastic margarine containers, poke holes along the sides and you're all set.
