Cheese gromit

[QUOTE=madderbat;617 but I think I'll start with less than a gallon of milk at first just in case![/QUOTE]

I'm sure I read on that site a gallon of milk would make 1 lb of cheese, so it really doesn't seem worthwhile to me to set out to make less.

True Alice, but If I'm going to try using buttermilk or live yogurt (and it might not work) I'd rather do a little at a time

If you make some Madderbat, let's know how you get on. I want to try some halloumi (sounds like the easiest) but I'd love someone else to go first before I commit my 8 pints of milk !

I found these quotes from another forum, I have adapted them so that I am not plagerising .......I just hope it helps. The person posting had only just recently tried to make the halloumi cheese. It certainly does not sound a disaster


It didnt say to 'depasturize' the milk using live yogurt, but I've added a teaspoonful anyway, so fingers crossed its ok. I also bought some rennet tablets, its an experiment .

Had to leave it dripping overnight , so will be finishing it in the morning.

It sort of worked, a bit crumbly, but that was probably us being novices. Tastes ok though! Will try it again with more confidence

Thanks for that Shirley. Can you keep us posted of any updates.
