Now that we're milking our cow, we have an abundance of fresh milk. I'm making yogurt by the half gallon and mozarella cheese. We are also getting butter and sour cream.
I needed to order more rennet, but my usual supplier was all out. I found a new source at http://www.myspicesage.com/ . I had never gone to this site before, but the prices were good and I get 8 vanilla beans free, just for placing an order.
Another good site for cheesemaking is http://biology.clc.uc.edu/Fankhauser/Cheese/Cheese.html . They have just about everything you need to know about cheesemaking. I'm going to try their hard cheese recipe. Also, they have a simple, homemade cheese press design. And....something else I'd like to try sometime-How to Make your own Rennet. So it's off to experiment with different cheeses. Next cheese to try??homemade feta.

I so admire you getting into cheese making with both feet, so to speak. ;o} We keep thinking of getting back into dairy goats, but our plates are so full right now that I think adding that (plus the fact that we don't have anything close to a proper barn) might just be too much. In the meantime, I'll keep learning from you!
