[jackbox]

Let's start a "Good Milk" for Thailand. If you have had good success making cheese please list brand of milk, type of milk and what adjuncts such as calcium chloride you added to it. Also, if you know of a particular brand and type of milk where you had a bad result please list that also so people know to not buy that milk and waste their time and money.

Jackbox, i used magnolia brand from makro as well the Meijo brand....these where the Brands i had most success with . If you live in a place that has a Farming School you may wanna talk to them....i did and i get it from them now.

Oh one thing, you be better off using animal rennet i tried vegetarian rennet tablets before and there was always some bitter taste in there ...

I just made some ricotta using the Magnolia brand of milk. Have you tried the Chokchai or Dutch Mill brands?

You can purchase citric acid and calcium chloride at the medical supply house on Sukhumvit Soi 69 (named Vidhyasom Co Ltd). The place looks like a factory, but they will sell 1/2kg containers for around US$5.

Btw, if you make some other cheese  in future (ie swiss, gouda...) you can use the "leftover" whey to make ricotta....its really a sideproduct in cheesemaking . I am not a big fan on ricotta, so only make it now and then from leftover whey.
