Wasn't having alot of luck with Calcium Chloride and setting up a firm curd until i saw a post saying to add it to store bought milk cold, not right before rennet. I tried this over the weekend and had a fantastic set! I will do this from now on!
Living in Boston, I do not have access to raw or straight-from-the-dairy milk. I wanted to make sure I got the full cheese making experience without lessening the quality with the pasteurized goat and cow milk available at the grocery store. The clear directions on the bottle were almost too easy to believe but I truly think it gave a great texture for my first goats milk!
Handy easy to use bottle of calcium chloride helps when using store bought milk.
I have confidence in products from New England Cheese Making Supply Company. Their products for cheese making are always fresh and good.
