I just use citric acid and rennet; for my mozzarella.

**Ananke** · 17-12-2011, 04:35 PM

I have citric acid so that is do-able

This is a really simple recipe not asking for funny ingredients!

Thank you Patchninja. That recipe looks great and so easy too.

Last night I started the Neufchatel from the link that Paul posted Making Neufchatel Cheese.

I've just cut the curds and have them straining now and if i've read it right, I can save the whey and make some ricotta from it tomorrow.

I'll give the mozzarella a go next, while i'm designing a press in my head for a hard cheese.

Very, very satisfying to do, just hope it tastes good

It certainly sounds good and if it is as satisfying as you say, it will taste good.

A press for hard cheese. Two cake tins, one to fit snugly inside the other. Make holes in he bottom of each and find some weights to put on top.

Polly, what a fantastic idea. I would never have thought of that.

I have a set of three cake tins that all fit inside each other and are full of junk on top of the wardrobe.... you are a star

Hows the cheese coming along any success yet

**Ananke** · 22-12-2011, 12:14 AM

Paul it was a total success. I split the batch into 3 and mixed one with chives, one with chives and garlic and one with mango and red chili. On it's own it was beautiful but I was in a creative mood

We had some in baked potatoes for dinner tonight and everyone loved it. It really was so easy to make, I am already planning my next batch.

Thanks again for the link to Fankhauser's cheese page, it's fantastic.

That sounds brilliant when do you open the factory Ananke's Dairy, how long does the cheese keep there is only two of us and I wouldn't like to make and waste stuff

**Ananke** · 22-12-2011, 11:18 PM

Lol @ Ananke's Dairy, I love the sound of that.

According to the recipe the cheese should be used within a week or two.............. mine didn't last that long, the boys were just in making toast there so they could spread the last of the cheese on it.
