Queso de Mano Cheese Making

I built this popular Venezuelan/Columbian Cheese Making Recipe webpage but have not made it todate, from recipe and videos below it looks like a straight forward pulled curd cheese (some fun moments in videos).

thank you for the recipe ! I have been wondering for years if it's possible to make this cheese at home and was very surprised to find your recipe! So far I could successfully make only ricotta and cottage cheese even while trying to make mozzarella ;). My understanding of this recipe is that there`s no need of any acid ,right? will the rennet make all the curdling job?
thank you

Correct, that's my understanding but I've never made it. The recipe is now on the new website here, but pictures make it easier than looks, lots of people have problems with moz type cheese, I'd read lots of posts on this Pasta Filata Board.
