Cheese Making Recipe & More!
The history of cheese making goes back thousands of years. It has evolved and been perfected over the years until we have the cheese of today. Many are rediscovering the enjoyment of making their own beautiful cheese right in their own home. Many varieties can be made from cow or goat's milk that may be available from a small acreage (like ourselves) or large farm, or simply milk from grocery store.We use relatively the same recipes for making cheese that people have used for hundreds of years. Now, there are a few simple but very important rules to follow to have success with making your home made cheese, from cottage cheese to Duch Gouda, (Gouda cheese being one of are most succesfull in making).
All your utilities (cheese cloth, the press, etc.) must be sanitised before using each time. I use any bacterial dish soap and chlorine bleach to wash everything in, following with a very thorough hot rinsing. Cleanliness is the key to success. If you have a wood press, putting it in the dishwasher is not recommended. The dishwasher could ruin your cheese press.
A stainless steel or plastic press are absolutely the best, for they scrub well and are dishwasher compatible. The reason for all the scrubbing and cleanliness to get rid of any potential milk stones that may form on any surface that has come into contact with milk. Milk bacteria multiply very quickly. Unwanted bacteria could ruin your wheel of cheese or even make you sick.First, let's talk about your kitchen.
- Ideally the temperature of your kitchen should be in the range of 20 C for Canadians or 70F for those who live in the US. Unless you have air conditioning, your kitchen may be too warm during the summer months for cheese making. In the Fall through to Spring, it is much easier to keep the temperature constant around the 70 F mark.
- Next, you don't need a big or fancy kitchen to make cheese from these recipes, but your kitchen must be very clean for the best chance of success. The key is you don't want to get the wrong bacteria working in your cheese, which could lead to a bitter or sour wheel of cheese, yuk!
- We will be using certain types of bacteria to produce the different varieties of cheeses. Unwanted bacteria can come from a few crumbs of bread left on the counter to a hair falling into the cheese pot. So give your work area a good thorough cleaning before you begin and you will have very good success with your cheese making.

The milk must be fresh, we suggest that the milk be no more than three days old for fresh raw milk. What we have is one cow and so we store the milk in the fridge until we have our three and a half gallons. For store bought milk just go by the expiry date.When using milk from your own cow or goat, be sure to store it in clean sanitised containers. Glass containers or stainless steel are ideal in my opinion for they cool quickly and they also clean well in the dishwasher.Silver bullion keeps milk fresher when making cheese. Just drop the pure sillver oz in the bucket of milk.
