Cottage

Cheese Curds |
This is my own Fias Co Farm variation on cottage cheese/cheese curds. |
Feta |
Feta is a salty Greek cheese, usually made with either goat or sheep's
milk. It is wonderful crumbled on salads and can also be used in
cooking. |
| Mozzarella |
One
of the first cheeses people want to learn to make is Mozzarella. The problem
is, Mozzarella can be pretty tricky. Finally, after years of trying to
produce a stretchy, tasty, well-textured Mozzarella, I've succeeded. |
| Ricotta |
Ricotta
is Italian for "to cook again" or "twice cooked." It is a soft,
smooth, fresh, unripened Italian cheese usually made from the whey of
cow's or sheep's milk. |
| Panir/Queso
Blanco |
("White
Cheese", Vinegar Cheese) A perfect "first timer" cheese. It's
quick and simple to make, and takes very little special equipment.
This cheese does not melt and can be used like Tofu in stir fry or cut
into chunks and added to spaghetti and chili.

| Queso
Fresco |
("Fresh Cheese") Queso Fresco can substitute for Mozzarella on many
occasions. It is lightly pressed and ready to eat in just a few
days. |
|
Chevre/Fromage
Blanc |
I
have found that when I say "goat cheese" to people, they think only of
Chevre. Chevre, means "goat cheese" in French. It is a soft, molded, fresh
cheese, but by no means the only cheese you can make with goat milk. It
is quite simple to make and doesn't take a lot of special utensils, milk
or time to make.

Saint
Maure |
Once
you have making Chevre down, why not try something really fun. getting
moldy. Once you try this moldy Chevre, you may never go back to plain
again. The mold we'll use is the same kind of white mold that is used
in Brie and Camembert. It causes the cheese to develop a wonderful flavor
and creaminess. |
