Farmers Cheese Recipe - New England Cheesemaking Supply Company

There is a lot of variation in this white cheese because each person makes it slightly differently. Usually, whole milk is used, but it may be made with partially skimmed milk.

Ingredients

  • 1 gallon pasteurized milk
  • 1 package C21-Buttermilk
  • app.5 drops of liquid rennet mixed with 1/4 cup of cool sterilized water

Recipe

  1. Heat the milk to 86 degrees F. and add the package of starter, stir.
  2. Add a small amount of rennet and let the milk set for 5-6 hours or overnight
  3. Once set, cut the curd into small cubes, stir, and heat the curds to 90F.
  4. Drain off the whey and add salt. Place the curds in a butter muslin bag or muslin-lined molds and press lightly overnight.
  5. In the morning, remove the cheese from the press and eat it fresh or wax it and age in a moist, 60F room.

If you have a cow in your backyard, here is a quick, simple method. This cheese-making process can vary significantly depending on the region, much like the Yorkshire cheese, which has its own unique recipe instructions that reflect local traditions and techniques. The Yorkshire Cheese Making Recipe Instructions expands on this concept. After you have made your cheese, consider using the leftover whey for another delicious creation. The process of making whey ricotta is simple and can enhance your cheese-making experience. By utilizing the whey, you can create a fresh ricotta that complements your homemade cheese perfectly. If youre interested in exploring other cheese-making techniques, you might want to check out our Dunlop Cheese Recipe Instructions, which highlights the unique characteristics of this traditional Scottish cheese and its preparation methods. After milking, let the milk set at 82F for 2 to 3 hours. Add 1 tablespoon of rennet to 19 quarts of milk and heat to between 98 and 101 degrees F. Drain when firm and hand press into molds. After the cheese has the shape of the mold and the desired consistency remove and enjoy.

If you're interested in trying your hand at another type of cheese, have a go for the cheddar cheese making recipe or a cottage cheese recipe that focuses on dry curd for a different texture and flavor.
