I want to make cheese....

[chandasue]

In the past I've made half batches of cheese (chevre, feta and mozzarella) and yogurt without any trouble. I had to save up a couple days of milk (mostly because some people in this house kept drinking it all...) But it is well worth the trouble.

I have a lot of frozen milk. Does anyone know if I can use it to make cheese?

Yes, you can use frozen milk to make cheese; at least from what I've read on here you can. I hope it works, I have a batch of cheese from frozen milk in the press right now!

You want to thaw and then strain your frozen milk before using it.

Yes, I definitely thawed it...why would it need to be strained though, if I strained it before freezing?

It gets a grainy texture. Although I haven't made cheese from frozen milk, when I thaw it for our use during the does' dry times I put it in the blender for a few seconds and that takes care of it nicely.

Yep that would work just as well as straining would I imagine

Sorry to give the "thaw" it instructions! You'd be surprised how many times a little detail like that when left out can confuse people!

Kat - How is the milking going?

Made any cheese?

I have not started milking anyone. But am still thinking about it.
Milking them really seems like a lot of time (since mine are not dairy goats) But I have these herbs growing in the kitchen window that would be yummy in some cheese.....
