1muttsfan, have you made any cheese lately?

So far my efforts have produced 2 wheels of cheddar (currently in the wine cooler for the next few months) and a batch of Juusta Liepa finnish cheese. Non-homogenized milk is best for making cheese, but the closest place to get it is a natural food store an hour's drive away, and it is expensive there (kind of a high-dollar health food place). My next try is going to be Mozzarella, which you can make with store-bought homogenized, pasteurized milk (you can not, however, use ULTRA pasteurized milk to make cheese). It is really interesting, wish I could get some goats milk and try Chevre and some other fresh cheeses.

Feta is my number one choice for goats milk but cows milk works also, goats is best.

I may have to try this sometime

My wife makes Chèvre and Mozzarella. The Mozzarella recipe she uses only takes 30 minutes.

Mozzarella recipe please. I make Chevre and it's super easy. I'd love access to fresh cows milk.

Here's the link to the recipe she uses for Mozzarella, of course she uses our goat milk rather than cow milk.
