Ingredients
- 2 liters of whole milk
- Tip: try using milk from a bag, as it contains fewer preservatives and makes your cheese even tastier.
- 8 tablespoons of vinegar
- 1 teaspoon butter (optional)
- Salt and seasonings to taste
Preparation method
- Bring a pan of milk to a boil.
- Don't let it get super hot: turn off the heat when it shows signs of boiling.
- As soon as cream begins to appear on top of the milk, turn off the heat.
- Remember not to let it boil under any circumstances.
- Gradually add the tablespoons of vinegar.
- Give the mixture a light stir and let it curdle for 15 minutes.
- When the curds are well separated from the whey, it's time to strain them.
- Using a large container and a sieve, separate the whey from the curd.
- Tip: You can also use a clean dish towel to squeeze out all the liquid.
- When the curd is completely strained, discard the whey and season the mixture.
- Wash your curd with a little water or milk.
- This will ensure that the sour taste goes away.
- Season to taste and mix in the butter.
- Before transferring to the pot, carefully squeeze the curds through the sieve itself.
- It is important that you remove as much serum as possible.
- Once done, transfer the curd to a jar with a lid and press lightly with a spoon to form it.
- Refrigerate for at least 12 hours and then enjoy your cheese!
