Title: Greetings from San Francisco!
Post by: Kauschen on January 14, 2015, 05:34:13 AM
Hello All!

I've started making my own yogurt and creme fraiche and have enjoyed the bestter quality and cost savings. This forum was recommended to me because of a question I have that I can't get answered so I'm hoping for that as well as to learn more. And to think two days ago I didn't know the difference between mesophillic and thermophillic.

So here's my question:

If I strain creme fraiche to make it more firm like a farmer's cheese is there a name for this type of cheese? Obviously it's a fresh cheese, but I haven't found any info on fresh cheeses made this way.

Thanks in advance,
Eric

Eric, what is your procedure for making yoghurt? I've developed a procedure that works really well for me, but always interested to see if there is a way to improve ...
