Title: Cheese Making - Without Added Coagulants?
Post by: Adnama228 on May 24, 2012, 10:39:00 PM
Please help if you can! I am totally new to cheese making, and I have an issue that most people dont have, I am not going  to be using any rennet or citric acid or lemon juice or vinegar or anything like that. Is there ANY cheese that I can make besides just farmers cheese without using any ingredients like that? THANK YOU soo very much for any help. I really really need it.

Welcome, yep Lactic Acid Coagulated cheeses, although they are easier with a little rennet.

Yeah, count me curious too.  ???

The milk has to coagulate with something. Nettles, perhaps?
