Making homemade mozzarella! It is an interesting process.

GrilledCheeseSamurai I looove making my own cheese. Lately, I've been giving it a 'cold smoke' after its finished to give it a real depth of flavor! ❤️ 7y

Fresh out of the press. A little reluctant to knit at first, till I rigged up a press-in-the-pot method involving hot water and a pasta strainer to keep it warm but still draining well. A touch of cheesecloth adhesion ruined the perfect finish. Still, it is my first time!

Michelle_mck It doesn't look like a first go! Bravo! 8y
Cinfhen WOW! Super impressive 💞looks delicious 😋 8y

Laura317 I like the pattern! I thought it was on purpose. I'm impressed! 8y
Lauredhel @Laura317 oh, the pattern is from the holes in the cheese mold plus the cheesecloth... It is the little chunks out of the centre that aren't on purpose! :) 8y
DrJAdMerricksson Ooohh, looks yummy! 8y

And here's the book I recommend when starting out, along with the files in Facebook group "Cheesemaking, yogurt, butter, tofu and other fermented milk products".

Bklover I've been reading your "cheese" posts. This is really fascinating. For some reason it just never occurred to me to make cheese (although I used to make yogurt). I'll have to look into this. Thanks! 8y
Lauredhel @Bklover yay! Blessed are the cheesemakers! 8y
