    Im not Polish. I’m Mexican, and just got back from Poland a couple weeks ago. I had pierogi stuffed with farmers cheese n potatoes.WOWZA! A whole new culinary world opened up to me. Had sernik, also great. So I got back home, bought your book (super fast shipping btw, thank you for that!) and tonight I made my mix of full fat milk and buttermilk per your recipe. Excited to make the pierogi with it so they can soak up some of that miod and bison grass vodka I brought back with me, hehe ;) Poland is such a beautiful country with a very rich culture. I hope to continue discovering that culture through the wonderful cuisine. Super excited to taste the cheese!!! Thanks guys!!!

    Looks yummy. I’ve tried to make this in the past by straining my Greek yogurt but as you can guess, it didn’t have the same consistency as farmers cheese. Your instructions cleared things up for me. Here, where I live in my area of Canada, it is ‘almost’ impossible to get milk unpasteurized but there is a black market cottage industry where if you pass a number of criteria, you can get some. It may be different now, as this was 30 years ago. I used to joke with my mom that it would be less work to just buy her own cow 😄. I do believe that it is much easier to come across unpasteurized dairy for sale in Quebec.

    I found online instructions to make twarog and started a batch 3 days ago. I used regular pasteurized milk (not ultra pasteurized) mixed with some FAGE sour cream. Not all sour cream is 100% cream and most of it doesn't have live active cultures. Fage says their is live, I emailed and asked. To be sure you have active cultures you can use buttermilk, or buy starter culture. I used my slow cooker, not turned on, just for the culturing vessel and later for the heating part with it just turned to Keep Warm. That way I didn't have to transfer it to a pot, and could very gently heat it in the slow cooker, using a thermometer. It's in the cooling stage right now, and will get drained in butter muslin. Some concerns I have are, the instructions I found says it takes 2 to 2 days, depending on your temperature where you are. My house is 68 degrees, and my granite countertop is only 57 degrees. I was afraid that it was too cold, so after 2 days I set the cooker on a seedling heat mat, and wrapped 2 more mats around it with a bungee cord. That warmed it perfectly through the metal base and ceramic pot. Then with a temperature probe in it, and the pot on keep warm, it got to between 99 and 102 degrees for an hour. I'm hoping it comes out right, because I have no idea what it should even taste like.🤣 And the whey will get used for liquid for pierogi dough, and other uses.

    Hi from South Africa. I make this cheese weekly. Please see my comment as complimentary, not negative. A better word for to ferment is to culture/incubate. Yoghurt needs a high temperature to culture as all yoghurts are thermophilic and needs a temp of 42 degrees Celsius. Kefir or buttermilk only needs about 34 degrees Celsius to culture. I love following your channel. Many thanks 😊

    You are "culturing" the milk. Sounds better than fermenting. Was the milk you used unpasteurized? I have seen the various methods where vinegar or lemon juice is mixed into the heated pasteurized whole milk. Mark sure got a laugh out of the sound of curdled milk being poured into the pot!! 😅🤣 I was thinking of trying a small batch using the acid activated method. Just want to give it a try!! Take care!!

    @Greg Budig it does work with pasteurized milk (here in Canada it's illegal to sell unpasteurized milk). I've done it with lemon juice and (natural) yogurt. Adding lemon juice to heated milk speeds up the process but you have to get the temperature right, don't remember the exact number but it's close to boiling point. With yogurt it takes longer and in my opinion the cheese tasts better.

    Love your channel. I have a question that I hope I can get a quick answer. I followed your recipe with raw milk and a hefty cup of plain Kefir In a clean gallon glass covered it with a cheese cloth and loosely put the lid on it. Several days went by. We’ve had mild weather here in Florida last 2 weeks so I wasn’t worried of it “cooking”. But after 5 days I noticed half the gallon was already whey and there was a semi firm cap of what I thought was the cheese. A little firm, smelled sour in a good way, I think, and when I peeled it off to the side it revealed a thick, not jiggly, creamy firm substance beneath. About 6 inches down the gallon jar. The rest on the bottom was the yellow whey. I think I may have made an error by pouring out the contents into a pot to proceed with heating it. There were a lot a thicken clumps already in this and all I did was churn it up to no longer be separate. I’m heating per your instructions now. I’m mushing those soft clumps on the side of the pot and gently stirring them back into the mixture. Just before I began stirring. I noted that thicker substance on the top, when poured into the pot, gave off a slight pinkish tinge contrast to the creamy fluid. It smelled fine once poured. No slime noted and definitely sour cream smell. I am stirring this and taking its temp over low heat until it reaches about 90 degrees. I mustard up the courage to take a taste of the cap I removed. And it was creamy and tangy. I thought it was going to be this disgustingly, chewy, sour gum-like texture. Anticipating this, I moved to the trash can to use it as a spittoon. But found it pleasant. After all that, my question is. Could I have gently fished out the thick part off the whey and call it quits? It seems it already curdled. I’m still cooking and waiting for the separation. Ok. Small curds have formed at about 96 degrees. No distinct separation seen, but white curds contrast to the surrounding liquid are visible. About 103 degrees. Hoping more separation would happen. Not so much. Getting my strainer ready. Smells fine. Ok. I think that formation of that dry cap was due to the fact I had a gallon size canning jar. Some of the mixture rose up to the cheese cloth and hardened a little. So, lesson number one Be sure your glass container is wide mouth like Anna’s. I’ve seen these at Walmart. Lesson number 2, check on your ferment daily to make sure it’s coming along. If I’d seen that bubbling up, I would have noted that it was ready for cooking. But I skipped a day. Lesson number 3, it was ok! That cheesy stuff that floated to the top and hardened slightly? Was tangy and creamy. If you love all kinds of cheese, it’ll be a nice little snack if yours develops that. (It was too dry to incorporate it into the pot) Could I have scraped off all that jiggle thick beneath it, maybe. But I’m not sure how to cook it without the whey water to help it from scorching in the pot. Maybe only keep half that whey? If I used a wide mouth jar, this may not have happened. The lid was loose on it during fermentation, probably should have been on better to keep any surface of the fermenting milk from forming that skin. I had a full gallon and it rendered about 2 cups of cheese. Lots of whey for sure. I’m saving most of it to make bread. The taste has no comparison! I did the quick lemon juice and milk version and it tasted ok. A little more tart compared to this method. And upon refrigerating, the lemon one is rubbery. The sour milk/kefir one seems soft, milder to taste and lighter in color. Sorry for getting so wordy. I started typing as I was cooking. I will make this again. I’m going to get a large mouth glass container and keep an eye on it. This cheese reminds me of the cheese my Aunt Marie got in Philadelphia at a special deli. 5 pound container. She made Vereniky (perogies), cheese cookies which sound weird, but they are not savory. Three ingredients. This Farmers cheese, fresh sweet butter and flour. Well 6 ingredients. Pinch of salt in the dough. Slightly beaten egg whites to dip the top of the cookie and then granulated sugar. Bake till golden. You’d never know it had cheese! The older the cookies got the tastier they got. I don’t think they lasted past 3 days. Everybody ate them! ❤❤❤

    Thank you for providing an alternative process for making this type of cheese - as opposed to using vinegar or lemon juice. I'm curious - do you add any salt to this cheese? Might you add some vinegar in small amounts before pouring off the whey, if stiffer curds were desired? What about other additives such as herbs, spices, or colorings? Lastly, I'll suggest that using a double boiler or "bain-marie" - a container holding hot water over or into which another pan is placed for slow cooking - might provide a slower and more controlled method of heating up the milk. Again, my thanks!

    Thank you for this tutorial. I make my own kefir so I was lucky enough to be able to use it to start off the process. My milk fermented in about 24 hours and I am happy to say that the cheese is strained and ready to go. Only one question, do you ever put in a little salt?

    I don’t because I don’t always know what the cheese will be used for. It I was to eat it for breakfast then yes, I want it salty but if I was to use it make cheesecake then I don’t want it salty. You can always add salt later.

    I'm in the process of fermenting my cheese, but am not sure its correct. I used pasteurized whole milk and buttermilk. Its sat on the counter in a 75degree house for 4d. I thought it was ready to be heated, but it didn't separate into curds. The temp was 95f. What did I do wrong? Can I let it sit on the counter again? Thanks!

I have a polish store near, one of two Here in Hamilton ON, (closer to Niagara Falls than Toronto) and they import "mleko Laciate" from Poland (Why I have no idea just like they import Laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid and many other weird products Why pay $2.99 for a botle of Dawn for your dishes when you can get "ludwik" for$7.99 and Persil, Bryza, vizir for your laundry at 3-4 times the cost of a large box or bottle of Tide) Born polish Polish for life til death eh.

    So you would by 3% milk. In USA it is called whole milk. And I could never afford Tide, Gain and any other high name brand of laundry soap. Plus the prices of Dawn dish Wow. I have used Dawn dish soap original (blue) color for washing the dogs for tick and flee s veterinary places and shelters use it also cuz its alot cheaper. It's the one they use, when there are oil spills in the oceans to wash the animals up with. You can look up DIY videos on making your own homemade laundry and dish soap recipes .
