Yield:
1 packet sets 1 US gallon (3.8L) of milk and makes approximately 2 pounds (0.9kg) of cheese.Directions:
Heat 1 US gallon (3.8L) milk to 86ºF (30C), add 1 packet of culture to your milk and let rehydrate for 1-3 minutes. Stir into milk and let set for 6-12 hours or until the curd is firm. Drain in Butter Muslin cloth (sold separately and available in our store) for 6 hours and refrigerate for up to a week. The time required for the curd to set will vary greatly depending on the farm the milk comes from, the season and the animal’s diet.
