Anyone here ever try to make cheese?

I'm planning on making mozzarella sometime in the next couple of months, I'll update once the process is finished. It'll be my first go-round at cheese-making so I'm not guaranteeing anything special.

Fresh mozz is pretty simple to make. Done it quite a few times. Basically get mozz curds. Make warm salt bath. Make another pan of ice water. Drop the curds in the warm water. Stretch. Throw in ice bath. Done.

What grows between your toes doesn't count, old timer.

sorry, I thought he said cheese, not algae..

I once made Saag Paneer, Indian spinach, with homemade cheese. Now I just skip the cheese.

The paneer/cheese was fairly simple, but nothing special flavor wise. Gently boil milk, add lemon juice to separate curds and whey, strain through cheesecloth in a colander, and twist cheesecloth to squeeze out excess whey. Smash between two plates, put a can of food on top for weight, and let chill in fridge to firm up.

I've made mozz a few times. Turns out well.

You will need to purchase a few things that might be harder than you think. Rennet and Citric Acid. Citric Acid is probably at the local grocery, but rennet can be difficult. I tried the tablets with no success and the liquid with success. I had to get the liquid off the interwebs.

Good Luck.
