Title: Salting/Ash pH Goals
Post by: beckyrobs on March 30, 2022, 10:21:53 PM
Does anyone have records for what their typical pH/pH goals are for salt/ash for a pasteurized goat milk Valencay-style cheese? Not having any luck finding them in past posts.

I think lactic cheeses usually bottom out on pH, so there really isn't much need to test. Just look for proper curd consistency and smell/taste. Lactic cheeses are very forgiving.
