Cheese Please


Cheese Please

We have already gone through 3 gallons of raw milk this week with two days left to possibly kill 2 more gallons. Where does it all go? Mostly cheese.

- cream cheese (weekly)
- mozzarella (weekly)
- butter (weekly)
- hard cheese (once a month)

There are by-products from making all this stuff:

- butter leaves us with buttermilk
- all these cheeses we make leave us with lots of whey

The buttermilk goes into pancakes and the whey gets a kefir culture added to it and is used for lacto-fermenting fruits and kimchi production.

Do you use cows milk or goats milk?

We get our milk from a Jersey cow named Jane. You can tell by the color of the butter. Goats milk would make white butter.
