I had 3 gallons of rich, yellow summer milk and really didn't know what I wanted to do with it. I decided I'd like to try my
Leiden effort with caraway seeds instead of cumin seeds. I boiled a tablespoon of caraway seeds in half cup of distilled water and let it cool.
The initial milk pH was 6.71. I used 7 cubes of Aroma B mother culture, thawed. I also decided to bring out the small Kadova moulds and see how they worked again. It had been a while since I used them.
I had a little sticking of the netting in the moulds, but I added a little vinegar to some whey and dipped the netting in that and it helped to release the cheese when I unmoulded.
This cheese was the second one I made on Friday. That made for a rather tiring session. My wife was very patient with me all day.
