Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 liters of milk 6 1/3 cups
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 30 ml
  • 50 grams melted butter 1/4 cup
  • 1 tablespoon Provencal herbs 15 ml

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the Milk: Pour 1.5 liters of milk into a large pot and heat over medium heat. Add a pinch of salt to taste.
  2. Add Apple Cider Vinegar: Once the milk is warm (but not boiling), add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Stir gently and watch as the milk curdles and forms cheese curds.
  3. Separate Curds from Whey: Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes. Use a fine sieve or cheesecloth to separate the curds from the whey. Set the whey aside for later use.
  4. Mix in Butter and Herbs: Transfer the curds to a bowl and mix in 50 grams of melted butter and 1 tablespoon of Provencal herbs. Combine well.
  5. Chill the Cheese: Place the cheese in a cheese mold or a lined container. Refrigerate for 12 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cheese to firm up.
  6. Serve: After chilling, your delicious homemade cheese is ready to enjoy!
