Hello folks!
I've been making my own wines, bake a variety of breads, have been making my own yogurt, fermenting vegetables - all for years now, and decided I want to learn some cheese making.
I wasn't sure where to start and wanted to try something that I figured would be fairly easy and I love feta.. so I picked up a Feta cheese making kit. I should say that while I like feta, I also like MANY kinds of cheeses
This is day 2 of my cheese making learning. I started the feta yesterday.
Today, I have chunks of curd that has been salted. However... some of the curd is quite crumbly... not quite what the instructions I received suggested it would be like.
But with a bit of salt, it tastes good today! But I'll let it age some more.
I'd like to get beyond the "kit" stage and learn more and make more cheeses in the future.
When I was a teenager, I worked on a dairy farm as well as a ranch in Alberta where one of my jobs was to milk the single dairy cow.. by hand.. twice a day.
Oh to be able to do that now and have access to lots of raw milk!
Looking forward to learning more!
