Yeah, cheese curds are delicious

Cottage cheese is both simple and scrumptious.

I've never tried it
It scared me as a wee boy
I'm lucky I tried cheese and yogurt and stuff before I found out what it is

>>19039784
>what it is
milk and cream?

>>19039784
Some people think this is milk. It's not. Those cats belong to Nurgle. That's simply a ruptured cyst.

>>19039790
Isnt there ew bacteria!

>>19039777
>that would taste good right
Cream cheese
Mascarpone
Ricotta
That's it
Cheese takes time to make, it's like asking what kinds of wine can I make and drink right away

>>19039806
Well how long would it need to age
I'm fine waiting a little I just don't want to make it and then have to wait a year to try

Where the fuck do I get this shit

>>19039826
From the people on the internet selling this stuff
Honestly start with cheese curds they're delicious when they're fresh

>>19039777
depending where you live
raw milk and renet might be impossible to obtain
and the raw milk might be illegal
if you can and do make cheese, consider a goat milk or a blend of goat and cow milk

What the hell does ultrapasteurized mean. Do I need unpasteurized milk?
I found a cheesemaking store nearby actually, I'll just go there. I was hoping to try to make something today but this seems slightly more involved
>>19039859
>depending where you live
Wisconsin which I would assume should make it easy

>>19039873
Pasteurized isn't a deal-breaker, mix a small amount of cultured buttermilk in or use as-is
Homogenized milk different story
Get the rennet and stuff off Amazon or Ebay or find a dairy club

>>19039813
Depends on the cheese but at least a couple months

I've made fiordilatte, ricotta salata and paneer.
Tried making aged cheese once, but I tossed it when it started smelling bad..

The one time I tried milking a cow as a kid I barely got anything out. Why is it just leaking like this on its own?

>>19039921
The heat of the milk cooks the cat

>>19039873
Wisconsin should give you a lot of opportunities to find what you need! I have not had Wisconsin brick cheese, and learned about it recently, it being key for Detroit style pizza, which I also have not eaten.
I tried to buy raw milk from a dairy here in california to make cheese and they would not sell me any. at the time it was illegal to sell (but maybe ok now?)

>What the hell does ultrapasteurized mean. Do I need unpasteurized milk?
you don't generally have to worry about it if you just buy regular milk from the grocery. the shelf stable stuff and a lot of organic stuff is ultrapasturized so avoid those.

Easiest cheese
>boil milk
>add a bit of vinegar
>stir until flaky
>strain in some cloth

>>19039921
that wasn't a cow it was a bull and you were doing a poor job

>>19040409
:(

>>19040409
>doing a poor job
you would know from experience homo

>>19040435
there is nothing homosexual about collecting semen from a prize bull
though the fact that is immediately where your mind went shows that you are clearly a closeted faggot
