You all have asked for a step-by-step tutorial in making mozzarella cheese, and here it is! I'm showing you exactly how to make mozzarella by using our raw goats milk from our home dairy. BUT since I know you don't all have access to raw milk, I decided to do a little experiment using the cheapest store brand cow's milk my grocery store had to offer? Will it work?
Here is where I originally learned to make cheese this way: thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/m...

@@RootsandRefugeFarm I know this is an old video, so not sure if you will see this, but what if you don’t use a microwave? My husband and I haven’t owned one our whole marriage (by choice) and are starting our first goat herd. Do you have suggestions for people who don’t use microwaves but still want to make cheese?

@@dre.ale.1191 if you're using raw milk, you can heat the whey and melt the mozzarella curds in the whey. With pasteurized milk, unfortunately, it won't melt in the heated whey. You can do a search on KZread or Google to find out the temp to heat the whey for melting the curds.

I also appreciate the experimentation with regular milk.
My Dad was a licensed cheesemaker and one of the cheeses he made was mozzarella. The cows milk they used always was pasteurized, my Dad was pasteurizer certified too. I had no doubt the pasteurized milk would make mozzarella. It was cool to see how to make cheese on a small in home kitchen scale. Thanks for sharing this video. Dad has been gone for almost 6 years, and this video brought him back for a few minutes.

My daughter followed this recipe using Nigerian Goat's milk, and got it to come out! Love you woman
Oh my goodness! I’m so adopting you!! My daughter made over. She would soooooo tell the same “cheezzyy” joke! 😂🤣😂 You’re an absolute doll! Thank you and God Bless! ~Lisa
Thanks jess for your encouraging manner of teaching us all these old ways We all love it😊❤️
Just made it with store-bought milk! It turned out great!! Thank you for the exact directions! You made it very easy to follow! 👍😁
This is so funny because I was wondering if you ever made goat milk mozzarella. This is why. Your husband seems to be really talented with building stuff and I'll bet he can make you a really great Italian pizza oven. It would be great outside on your property. There are lots of instructions on KZread) And you can also roast meats in a pizza oven. I can only imagine how great your pizzas would be with the mozzarella you make and fresh tomatoes, garlic and holy basil all from your garden! I have been after my husband who is from Italy to make one but he just doesn't have that gift of building. Anyway, I enjoyed the video and I will have to give mozzarella making a try. 💐
Your a sweet heart! Wonderfully made with smiles and love.. How fun you are to watch and learn from.. how natural you are in front of the camera.. I'm so happy to have come across you here.. Cheers everyone! Enjoy your mozza! Xo
Excellent tutorial you are a natural teacher God bless
This is the first video I ever watched of you. I've never forgotten it. I'd still like to make it.
Thankyou for the comparison. Raw milk is banned in Australia (for human consumption)- unless you own milking animals. So all our milk is pasteurised. It will be good to give this a try

Very good job! We love making homemade goat mozarella! Have you ever made string cheese sticks by stretching it out long and folding and long and folding etc. Then cutting it with scissors when long. I have a mozzarella video showing that fun technique at the end. Great video! Xoxoxo

@wholesome roots that sounds amazing! I’m really bummed that I wasted a gallon of goat’s milk. It never turned completely to curds and whey.
Thank you for showing us that cheese can be made in a real, living kitchen that maybe almost never has a completely empty sink!
I've used store bought cows milk and I follow your method except I microwave it in 1 minute increments instead of 30 seconds. It always turns out good! Love your videos!
You honestly have made my small dream of owning a homestead seem much more achievable than i originally thought! When i met my husband we hadn't really thought about it and since we've been married our health had been declining with thyroid, autoimmune diseases and vitamin deficiencies. Part of that has been because our eating habits and just not eating whole delicious fresh foods and not getting outdoors like we used to. I personally am more of the picky eater but I want to try to start making an effort to try new things and expand my tastes through a small garden on our apt porch. I haven't actually achieved growing any thing to harvest yet, I have kept on trying and this is my third year to give it a go! I'm preparing my stuff to start plants at the correct time and use a lot of what i have learned from watching you and teaching me tips I can use(I live in N. TX) and it helps to know little tidbits you add in your videos! You and your sweet family are such a delight to watch and see someone living in a way i strive to and it's so incredibly inspiring! I hope that you know how important a resource you guys are and how amazing it is to spread such happiness and knowledge! Keep up the hard work and I can wait to join you in having a homestead and a great way of living!
No one is gonna mention that gorgeous Pyrex bowl?
Hi Jess, Love ❤️ your Video!!! Haven’t watched you in awhile, So Happy to be Home. I missed Watching My Favorite Family ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome seeing the differences in both kinds of milk. Thank you.

Roots and Refuge Farm right? I was laughing so much and had to rewind a couple of times and listen really carefully. Quick question: was your cows milk mozzarella experiment pasteurized or ultra pasteurized milk?
I love what you say about the dishes! Love it! Forget the dishes!
I feel so blessed to have discovered you
As I am going through these vlogs from oldest to new I’m truly enjoying them! I hope to see more of your cooking vlogs. You and your family are a blessing to your viewers 💕
GIRL! We live in our house too! Definitely not a show house, we always have something stacked on our table, counters or in our sinks!
We did it. Made it first with my girlfriend while watching your video over and over. Then made it with my hubby. He was so impressed with our fun little date night experiment. We love you and your pure heart.
I've never put the ice in the pot, and my milk always, without fail, scalds on the bottom of the pot. So I think I will try this!
I was able to find rennet tables at Kroger and Citric acid at H-E-B, its next to the canning supplies there.
You Jess make my day! Please never stop making this beautiful, helpful, cheerful heartfelt content! It's so amazing and you are completely inspirational! All the wya from South Africa x
"ice my pot", or I smoke pot ?" lol, thanks for the video. great instructions.
Jess you are such an inspiration. I really miss living on acreage (did the usual move to the city for $$) Hoping my husband and I can buy property with a little land soon! I really love your down to earth nature. & your gardening tips are the best. Built myself a little planter so hopefully I can grow some tomatoes here in Sydney whilst we save for our property :) I honestly don't know how you manage to do all the things you fit into your day whilst looking after your family but hopefully I can get there some day!!!
Oh my goodness! I am definitely going to try making mozzarella. Thank you Jessica! It is pouring rain on our zone 6 coast of Maine. Looking forward to growing veggies this year and am so happy to have found you and Charles Dowding the "no dig" gardener from England. When friends mention all the crazy shows they are binge watching during these quarantine days I am so happy to have found you. Thanks again.
I've watched this video 3 times now, and the curds and whey joke makes me smile every time haha.
Love this! Will have my son make this this week for homeschool culinary class hehe Can't wait! Thanks for all the videos wish i had time to sit down and watch from video one until now but keep watching new ones when i see them :)
on KZread if you look up making cheese with powdered milk you will get a number of channels that claim it will work so i am not surprised that the pasteurized milk did. Thank you for all the wonderful content you do a lovely job and explain a lot with enough detail that even a beginner can understand all you do
Thank you so much! I dont have access to fresh milk and appreciate you playing Sherlock for us😉😊Ill be trying this tomorrow
Yes yes yes!!!!! Also thank you for yesterday’s video! I have been looking for an explanatory video of Seed harvesting!
Gasp! All the kids are gonna have to help me do this. I've wanted to make mozzarella for years but I never have. This is so cool!
that’s lots of work!your patience is deserving of a medal.omg!from raising goats to milking to finished cheese product.dat is mission impossible for me.i have lots of papers to finish. i’m so like for the meantime going to the italian bistro located infront of the campus and order pestro genovese pasta😀

OH YAY!!! Totally gonna try that!!! Super big thank you for that!!!
Always very thorough, TY!

Great video. I've always heard "boring women have immaculate houses". Very much enjoy the gardening vids. Always wanted to make mozzarella and now will thanks to you. God Bless.
There is a man on YT that has a video making mozarella with powdered milk..it seemed to work, who knows what really goes out here in YT land. I'm just thinkin, I'm thinkin it worked because his channel sure won't last long if he fakes success! Enjoy your channel, your garden, your family & you! Thanks so much for all you give! LOL Judie
