Is anyone familiar with cheeses where the salt is added after cultures but before rennet?   Finding some cotija recipes directing this, but it is not a method I am really familiar with.  Would be interested to learn of any other cheese types that call for this or experiences with making any of these cheese types.  Thx!

Let's ferment something!
Bread, beer, wine, cheese...it's all good.

Thanks for the tip!  Super interesting the recipe you shared characterises the early salt addition as a way to retain moisture.  Seems really just as a method to halt acid development.    Appreciate the assistance.
