What’s farmer cheese?

It's a soft cheese you can make by heating up a pot of milk and dumping vinegar into it. The vinegar causes it to curdle and it will separate into cheese and whey. Dump out the whey and squeeze excess liquid from the cheese, voila! Farmer cheese. Heavily salted, of course

How much salt are we talking here? Do you have a recipe?

I got the initial recipe online. If you Do an internet search for farmer cheese, it'll come up. I always just salt to taste, since the recipes I looked at never seemed to be salty enough for me. I also played around with how much vinegar to add. The amount used seems to affect the texture of the cheese.

Here’s a cheese recipe.

8.5 C whole milk

1/3 C lemon juice

1 tsp salt



Heat milk to 194* for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice (or vinegar) and salt. Wait 10-15 minutes while it curdles. Pour through cheesecloth into a mesh strainer. Allow to drain for about 15 minutes. Squeeze out as much as possible.

Farmers Cheese

Ingredients

6 quarts milk

3/4 cup lemon juice

2tbslp white vinegar



Directions

Pour the milk into a large pot and bring it to a boil, over medium heat. Stir milk occasionally, so it doesn't stick to the bottom.
Turn off the heat as soon as the milk begins to boil. Stir lemon juice and vinegar into the milk. It should curdle within 5 minutes.
Line a colander with cheesecloth and pour milk through the cloth.
Gather the cloth around the cheese and squeeze out as much of the whey as you can. Salt as much as for your taste .
Place cheese on a plate and press with something heavy on top. Leave cheese pressed overnight.
