Blessed are the Cheesemakers
I am new to making cheese, but I love doing it! Once you have the tools you need it can be quite fun, though sometimes time consuming. But the resulting product is nothing short of amazing. There's something to be said about processing your own food.
So I'm taking a page from Mrs. Wheelbarrow and The Yummy Mummy with their Charcutepalooza: A Year of Meat. What better accouterments to go with cured meat than some cheese?
Starting January 1st I will post a new cheesemaking challenge. Join me in learning how to make cheese, talk about it, write about, take lots of photos. I'll post more about it in the upcoming weeks, but for now, consider this your warning.

ReplyDeleteah, I love making cheese. I usually make a lot of it but right now our dairy goat is drying off so right now I'm just dreaming of cheese.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I make my own yogurt and kefir (with purchased cow's milk), so this week I am trying out making lebneh.
