Instructions
1. Prepare the Milk
Pour the milk into a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching.
Bring it to just below boiling (around 190°F / 88°C) — small bubbles should form along the edges.
2. Curdle the Milk
Remove from heat.
Stir in the vinegar.
Watch the milk curdle, separating into curds (solids) and whey (liquid).
Let sit for 5–10 minutes for complete separation.
3. Strain the Curds
Line a colander with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel.
Pour the mixture through to catch the curds.
Gently press out the excess whey.
4. Season and Shape
Add salt to taste.
For added flavor, mix in melted butter and Provencal herbs.
Shape the curds into a block or leave them loose for crumbled cheese.
5. Set and Serve
Refrigerate the cheese for at least 1 hour before serving.
Use it as a spread, in salads, pastas, or enjoy on its own.
Final Tips
This cheese is perfect for snacking or enhancing your favorite recipes. Feel free to experiment with herbs, spices, or even garlic for custom flavors!
