  • What more can I say, it must

    What more can I say, it must be the quality of the milk you are using. I make this cheese every week and  it has never failed. There is another  recipe on here identical except for the amount of vinegar, which I don't think is necessary and would probably leave a sour aftertaste. tmrc_emoticons.~ google and see other recipes or look on utube.

  • Sorry to hear that you were

    Submitted by Panoukla on 17. January 2013 - 00:44.

    Sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the results of your cheese. A lot has to do with the quality of the milk and how much it has been processed. Raw milk works best however it is rarely available. Parmalat is probably the closest but is more expensive. We are lucky here in Canberra that we have a local dairy that produces excellent milk. Aanother important factor is the temperature , ideal temp is 93-95 so try bringing it up slightly then you can add the vinegar  immediately. Give it a few minutes with heat to separate then you could try leaving it stand for a longer period, say 20 minutes before you strain it off carefully, although I have not found more than five minutes necessary.lemon juice or citric acid dissolved in a little water may be substituted for the vinegar and yoghurt may replace the cream but I haven't tried that method. I hope this helps and that you will get a better result next time, regards.

  • okay - tried.  Didn't really

    Submitted by Karlie on 16. January 2013 - 13:42.

    okay - tried.  Didn't really seem to form curds, even when I added more vinegar.  Any ideas why?  Also - roughly how long after it has reached 90deg before  I add the vinegar?  You say a gentle simmer but it's hard to see that with the butterfly (assume you used it as it's shown as an accessory?) - so I just watched it for a few minutes after it hit the 90deg mark.  Thanks

  • I am glad you like the recipe

    Submitted by Panoukla on 31. October 2012 - 21:30.

    I am glad you like the recipe karlie on. I'm not sure how it would freeze as it never lasts long in our house. The yield would be approximately 700 to 800 grams.another tip is to always use high quality milk permeate free.sometimes a little more vinegar is needed to form curds. Thickened cream is ok to use. Do not bring to a full boil, just a gentle simmer.a gentle stir with the spatula after the vinegar is added will help disperse  it good luck
