Ahron - I'll be interested in seeing how it goes with this. So far, I've only made Easter cheese, but I'd like to do quark, pot cheese, farmer's cheese and feta-type cheeses. It seems that there are a few, simple cheeses that reach way, way back in time, to our earliest beginnings. These are pretty much the same across a wide area of the world, with only minor differences.
Keep us informed, and thanks! |

Ahron,
As you know I am a true French and Mediterranean cheese-a-holic ... This is amazing ... Thanks so much for posting. I have made my own Ricotta, millions of times, as in Spain, it was not exported from Italia until quite recently. Also, I prepare mine with fresh goat milk, as we have a Dairy Farmer friend ... another point, there are no cattle except in northern Spain; it is too dry and no grazing lands in the high Sierra. Also, same for Puglia --- this is not beef cattle nor dairy cow turf ... Though in Puglia, I just walk a few metres, and pick some up --- that was just delivered from the Farms, early in the morning ... Mozzarella di Bufala di Campania, is my heart ... Wow ... Wonderful. Enjoy the weekend, Margaux. |

Ahron,
Mozzarella is complicated. I believe Dan Gone Fishing had prepared some a few months back, in the CHEESE SECTION ... I believe. I have never attempted it, as I do not have the time. However, I also purchase mozzarella di bufala from a dear Italian friend, who is a Restaurant Distributor ... I love my Caprese Salads ... Fresh Genovese Basil,red ripe tomatoes of choice, and of course the cheese, Italian Evoo and Modena Vinegar Balsamic ... I do have a récipe from Italia for it, however ... As a matter of fact, I shall translate it, and post it for u ... Have lovely weekend. Margaux. |

Ahron, I'm glad to hear that the feta went well and hope that the enxt attempt at mozzarella works the way that it is supposed to! What all is needed for feta? do you have a recipe/procedure? If you get the chance, please post - same when you do the mozzarella! |
