Steps:
- 1. Pour milk into large pot. Bring up to 80 degrees then remove from heat. Add the DVI chevre culture and stir well. Now add the diluted rennet and stir well again. Cover and let set (on the counter) 18 - 24 hours.
- 2. Cheese is ready to drain once it thickens up like yogurt.
- 3. Line colander with cheese linen or very fine cheese cloth. Pour in cheese mixture then gather the corners and tie. Hang for 6 to 8 hours or until desired thickness.
- 4. Once you remove cheese from cloth, add salt and mix well. Put into a container and refrigerate. Keeps for 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. * If freezing, omit salt. Put into quart freezer bags and flatten for easy storage and quicker thawing. I like to put mine 8 ounces to a bag.
