Homemade cheese. So simple.

After finding out how easy and quick it is to make mozzarella, I plan to do paneer soon, but this is my first foray into making a hard cheese that must be aged a bit.
We bought a simple cheese press and this beauty is now aging in the fridge for a few weeks.
The whole process is so simple and very satisfying. We just used store bought whole milk and as well as this hard cheese, have also made a simple spreadable cheese that comes together in about 30 mins. Highly recommended.

Did you use buffalo milk or cow milk, Robbo ?

Just cow milk. Can?t get Buffalo milk for love nor money here. Gets snapped up by proper cheese makers / restaurants I guess. Regular whole milk, but only pasteurized not UHT.
Just ordered another, larger cheese press so we can do a 3 gallon of milk recipe.
In for a penny...
Paneer will be so much simpler, very similar to mozzarella. Satisfying stuff.

That looks great! I'm more of a paneer fan, so looking forward to seeing your version of that
John Lewis/Waitrose used to sell buffalo milk but I think they stopped doing that a few years ago - my sister made yoghurt with it mostly. We liked it because it was the only place you could get whole A2 milk after that disappeared from the shelves. I've been meaning to try a delivery service for buffalo milk though, not sure if anyone else has tried these guys?

Well last week, our homemade cheddar turned 6 months.
So we decided to give it a try. The texture was somewhere between a sharp cheddar and a parmigiano reggiano. A little more crunch than would be desired for a plate cheese, but oh it’s delicious. As well as eating some with tomatoes and fresh basil from the garden, we also grated some into a risotto and it worked very well.
Not a bad result for first attempt. Cheese making is fun and easy. Give it a bash.
