    My mother made farmer's cheese once when I was little. She hung the ball in the basement until it was quite solid. My sister and I were not school age yet. We sat in a closet to eat it and pretended we were Eskimo kids eating whale blubber. I am 75 now. Ah, memories.

Let sit in a warm area until thickened and as sour as you like. Butter needs to be around 65 degrees F to separate, so get your cultured cream to that temp and then make butter as normal. Delicious when salted on sourdough!

    One caution about cheese from store milk - don't use ultra-pasteurized milk because the proteins aren't going to behave themselves due to the more intense pasteurization (heat). My favorite acid for farmer's cheese is actually lime juice. It adds a little subtle sweetness to the cheese and complements curries - which is handy because I usually press the cheese into firm paneer blocks.

    We love adding loads of fresh finely chopped garlic and using a pair of scissors, I chop a tone of chives or green onions into it. We grow lots of Egyptian walking onions right outside our kitchen door, and these are often longer lasting than chives in both spring and fall, so substitute those in when chives have faded or are not up. We also do a lot of minimal straining which give us a more spreadable cheese. On top of toast with a fried egg and pickled red onions are to die for!!

    Jess you once asked in a R&R video about dealing with cheesecloth so you don't have to throw it out every time you use it. The key is that once you remove the cheese is to immediately rinse it with the hottest water you can stand then let it soak if you have to go right back to working on the cheese. At the earliest opportunity hand wash it with dish soap and thoroughly rinse. I have never had to buy a new cloth and have been using the same one for 5 years now.

    @Heartofahomesteader it's Icelandic Yogurt. My husband eats it for breakfast every morning. I live in a suburb of DC, so I buy a gallon of whole milk from Giant. Pour it in my instant pot and set it on the yogurt setting on boil for an hour, then reset it to sauté and stir it while watching the temperature until it gets to 190⁰ (takes 20 minutes), then pull it out and let it cool to 105⁰ (2 hours) then add starter skyr (either from my last batch or store bought plain) and 7 drops of rennet which I mix in with a whisk, put it back in and incubate for 5 more hours in the instant pot. Then I pull it out and get to do like Jess and separate the yogurt from the whey. I grab a serving of skyr and stick it in the fridge, and then I flavor the rest. If I leave it unflavored, it doubles as sour cream, but who needs a whole gallon of sour cream? It definitely needs some sort of flavoring. This evening's was lingenberry. I just grabbed a jar of lingenberry jam at the store when I got the milk, and when I finish it, I will whisk it into the skyr. If I go to ikea, I'll pick up cloudberry. The last batch was honey, the one before that was apricot. Even with all the store bought ingredients, making it myself is about ⅓ the cost of buying it. The only disadvantage is that he's stuck with about 12 servings in a row of all the same flavor.

I had always wanted pet goats at that point but that was the first time it occurred to me to have goats for some other purpose. That was so long ago now that I didn't have any of the things I do now but you sparked a desire in me to start making my own things at home and to strive to get into this homesteading life. And now, some six or more years later, I am finally getting my first goats in about a month :D I am so excited that you have your goats again and I hope that you will do more goat milk recipes for us all to learn from.

I don’t have dairy animals and I like to have things in the house I can store long term… so I’ve also done this many times from powdered milk, and it works out totally fine! Also it’s easier, because I heat the water up first, then add the milk powder right before I add the vinegar so I have no issues with burning the milk on the bottom and having to stir etc. 👌👌

How long it keeps depends on how much liquid you leave, how much salt you add, if you left it on the heat long enough to kill off anything...etc. IOW, your mileage may vary. Press it into paneer and it will keep much longer than leaving it at the 'ricotta' stage. 3. Yes. Blended with heavy cream effectively makes cream cheese, but you can stop at whatever level of creaminess you desire and/or add or not-add the additional cream to your taste.

    Is vinegar whey safe for the garden? I don't think it's used in culturing ferments because the high temp and vinegar kill the milk off as it's essentially pasteurized? I know with making hard cheeses there's active cultures but I'm not sure that's the case here. I think vinegar whey like this has far fewer uses than a sweet whey like in making yogurt or hard cheese.

I’ve made your biscuits and they were the best. We have a Meyer lemon tree and I’m setting up to ferment some. I can’t wait to try the farmer cheese recipe. I look forward to more of your post.

    I make this in NZ/Australia, it even works with what we call light blue milk, which is the plain old reduced fat version. I'm sure you would get more with full cream, but it is definitely still worth doing. I made a batch earlier this week and then mixed it into a bunch of mini quiches I made for work lunch prep, delicious!

Today I have a rare afternoon to myself and while I’d planned on gaming on the sofa, I saw this and thought “I’m going to do that!” I almost talked myself out of it several times but now, with minimal effort, here I am now as a person who can say they’ve made cheese! Thanks Jess!

    Based on the comments, you could probably make a whole series just on this cheese, haha. 😁 I do think it would be a really neat idea to do one video using different amounts of vinegar/lemon/lime etc to see the consistency of each one. The we could all see the differences. Great teaching opp. There are so many great suggestions and combos in the comments as well. I follow another channel and they post the first comment that is for adding info that helps everyone. That way it is separate from the general comments. Not sure how they manage it but it is a great place for the cole's notes from the community. It seems to work for their channel. They do start with saying what the comments intention is and ask people not to clutter it with general comments. I suspect some stuff gets deleted from it, to keep it on task.

    Where do you find your massive food grade containers? I got some sketchy smelling ones awhile back. Ended up returning because they gave me the ick. Cheese has been on my list of things to try for ages. I wanted to eventually try to make mozzarella, cheddar and farmer's cheese. May as well add ricotta-like to the list! In fact, I feel like an older R&R video where mozzarella was made is what inspired me to try. Clearly I ruminate on things for awhile!😂

    I’m trying this over the weekend and can’t wait! You’ve probably heard about all the cheese recalls, so the more I can make from scratch, the less health issues I have to worry about, so thank you!! Would you share your mozzarella recipe as well? I can’t find it on KZread. I wanted to mention about the uses of the leftover whey. I make yogurt regularly, which has resulted in jars and jars of whey in my fridge. I try to use it in smoothies and soups, but recently discovered a new purpose. I use the ACV/rice water left from soaking rice as a hair rinse and have since seen some really great results in the health of my hair. Last week I grabbed the whey bottle in error and maybe it’s just a coincidence, but have been noticing less hair falling out. So here is one more use I will be using my yogurt whey for. When you think about it, we’ve all heard about using mayo in your hair, so this makes sense. ❤

    Perfect timing for this video! I had 3 litres of cream I’d skimmed off our milk this week that I’d been struggling to find the time/enthusiasm to make butter with and I came across this video during my Saturday breakfast coffee after milking the cows. I thought I’d give it a go with the cream and WOW! It is sooooo good I could sit there and eat it by the spoonful! And so easy to do while I prepared our apple harvest to make apple sauce. Ours cows will be dry for 2 months as of the 1st of May so I’m going to be making the most of it while we still have fresh raw milk and I’ll be sad to go without it over winter (New Zealand)

    How long does this cheese last in the refrigerator/ How quickly should it be consumed? Is this a cheese I can make 1x a week or is it closer to an every other day kind of cheese. I'm just trying to get a sense of 'shelf life' I guess. And should this cheese be made with fresh milk or can I use the raw milk that is just turning the corner on its fresh drinking abilities... Thank you so much. This is such an inspiration because it takes the intimidation out of cheese making!!
