Consider this - one gallon of milk produces roughly 1 lb of cheese. And look at the numbers - the cost of a gallon of milk and the cost of a pound of good cheese. I'm happy!
I love cheese. When I retire it’s one of the things I wanted to try making. Your posts have pushed it up the list.Consider this - one gallon of milk produces roughly 1 lb of cheese. And look at the numbers - the cost of a gallon of milk and the cost of a pound of good cheese. I'm happy!
I see your point. Sorry. I'll try to control myself. I'll also have to get after @vinny to post more of his cheese.
Why wait?
Damn day job!
Do you use raw milk or pasteurized?Consider this - one gallon of milk produces roughly 1 lb of cheese. And look at the numbers - the cost of a gallon of milk and the cost of a pound of good cheese. I'm happy!

transforms good to great!
Pasteurized. I don't have cows or goats or sheep. Raw milk not easy to come by in this part of Ohio. The closest "herd share" where you buy into a farm is about 2 hours away. I'd love to try raw milk. Maybe some day, still looking.
I just might give cheese making a try this year.
Due to current FDA rules most cheese in the US is made with pasteurized milk. (we can change that rule with aged cheese) The rules also prevent us / industry from using cheese caves with the proper mold growing on the walls so we have to buy cultures from IFF.
