Cream Cheese Recipe
  1. Pour the milk into your pot and slowly heat to 86°F.

  2. Add ¼ tsp calcium chloride solution and stir into the milk.

  3. Add 1 packet of buttermilk culture and allow it to rehydrate before stirring into the milk.

  4. Add 4 drops of single strength rennet.

  5. Cover the pot and set aside for ripening for 12-24 hours.

  6. Once the final ripening of the milk has been reached, transfer the curd mass to a sanitized colander lined with butter muslin.

  7. Allow the curd to drain for 1-2 hours.

  8. Gather the corners of the cloth and tie them off, hanging to drain for another 10-20 hours.

  9. After draining, blend the cheese in a bowl for a more homogenous texture and add any herbs or spices if desired.

  10. Transfer to clean containers and store in the fridge.
