Hi, my name is Jani. I live with my family on 12 acres in East Texas. I have been making cheese for a couple yrs now. In the last 6 months I bought 2 Jersey cows. I tried goats first and just can not get the goat taste out of the cheese. My aim is to make all our cheese. I make yogurt, buttermilk, butter, sour cream, cheddar, colby, Caerphilly, Monterey Jack and Montasio. I really wish I could make a soft cheese with the texture of Laughing cow, but oh well.
I wanted to say hi and hope to learn from all you cheese makers out there. I haven't found my people interested in making cheese and am looking forward to sharing ideas.

Hi Jani,
Welcome to the forum.
Goat taste is gooooodd, waddyousaying...
Hi Jani from West Houston TX! Welcome and looking forward to your input fellow cheese head!
We moved from Spring to East Texas last yr.
I don't know what he goat taste thing is. I just can't get over it. YUCK! But i am very happy with my Jersey's! Plus you can do so much more with cows milk since it is easily separated!
Hi Jani,
Hello from Celina! I have been making my own yogurt for about 2 years. I'm making sour cream and cream cheese at the moment; my first attempt at making cheese. They are sitting here in my warm office. I'm excited about making other cheeses, getting started with some simple stuff.
