Buttermilk Cheese

A fresh cheese with a similar texture to goat cheese can be made from whole-fat cultured buttermilk.  This is very non-technical, with the separation of curds and whey accomplished through heat.  Here is how I made a batch out of 2 quarts of buttermilk, using Ricki Carroll’s Home Cheese Making as a guide. Allow the Read More …

Sam Talbot’s Pimento Cheese

I spotted an article in a Southern magazine on Sam Talbot’s version of the Southern classic, Pimento Cheese, while staying in an historic B&B in Savannah.  Here is my adaptation, which mainly consists of halving the quantities.  It is an interesting sign of the internationalization of food in the US that Sam Talbot would prefer Read More …

Small Blue Cheese

In process This is my first attempt at a cheese with mold.  I followed the Petit Blue recipe and video by Gavin Webber, an Australian cheese-maker.  I made one major mistake while making the cheese.  I was supposed to add the salt to the curds before draining, but it was after I was well along Read More …

Pimento Cheese

Pimento Cheese is a Southern classic.  This version is taken from Southern Living in November 2019 and used Farmhouse Cheddar – First Try , which was rather crumbly and thus quite suitable for a cheese spread.  This was quite tasty, but more saucy than I expected.  The next time I would start with less mayonnaise Read More …

Farmhouse Cheddar Cheese – First Try

This post is about my first try at making a pressed cheese, a farmhouse cheddar.  I learned a lot from the process, and the result was a much more accomplished second effort in this posting:  Farmhouse Cheddar Cheese.  It will probably be a couple of months before I try this second effort, but I opened Read More …

Gouda

The photo shows Gouda out of the brine and beginning to air dry in the cheese cave. Gouda is an example of a washed-curd cheese, and this is the first time I have made one.  When making a washed-curd cheese, one of the steps is to drain some of the whey from the curds and Read More …

Parmesan Cheese

I have now made two batches of Parmesan cheese using the instructions in Ricki Carroll’s Home Cheese Making pages 140-141.  The photo is of one of the cheeses after 6 months of aging in the cheese cave. It looked and tasted like Parmesan – a success. To assist myself in planning the day and keeping Read More …

Stirred-curd cheddar

After two batches of farmhouse cheddar, I was ready for the next step in technical difficulty, stirred-curd cheddar.  Again I was working from the instructions in Ricki Carroll’s book Home Cheese Making.  As reflected in the name, the biggest change in this vs. farmhouse cheddar is that the curd is held at 100 degrees and Read More …

Kefir Goat Cheese

I saw on the internet an interesting article from Louetta Hill on an easy and relatively quick way to make a blue cheese log out of goat’s milk.  The main problem with implementing this idea was that I found that all the goat’s milk I could locate in Richmond was ultra-pasteurized, and thus useless for Read More …
