Today, the choice of cheeses is huge, and many do not understand why they should make cheese at home.
But believe me, it's worth it.
Firstly, homemade cheese is a natural product. You know what it's made from.
Secondly, homemade cheese is much cheaper than store-bought cheese, but at the same time, the quality is no worse, and sometimes even better.
Homemade cheese from milk and kefir - basic principles of preparation
The main products for making homemade cheese are milk and kefir. You can use any milk: homemade or store-bought. Kefir can be replaced with sour milk.
To prepare cheese, milk is poured into a saucepan with a thick bottom and heated almost to a boil. Then pour in kefir in a thin stream, stirring continuously, and keep on low heat until curd appears on the surface.
Cover a sieve or colander with gauze folded in several layers and pour the resulting mixture into it. The gauze is tied tightly and placed under pressure for several hours.
Different types of cheeses are prepared from milk and cottage cheese, ranging from hard to soft, creamy and curd cheese.
With the help of different additives, you can experiment and create completely new tastes. Fresh vegetables, olives, herbs and spices are used as additives.
