Homemade Cheese Curds




We get raw, grass-fed milk through a herd-share program with a local farmer.  Every week I make yogurt and kefir, which uses up most of our gallon of milk.  Every now and then, though, we have a little more milk than we can use, so I’ve been reading about making cheese – something simple, like mozzarella or ricotta. 

Yesterday I came across the website www.thekitchn.com that had a recipe and tutorial on making “Queso Fresco” or “Fresh Cheese.”  It looked so simple and quick that I decided to try it.  I made mine into Garlic-Dill Cheese Curds because I’ve always liked cheese curds and think the “squeaky” feel is kind of fun to eat!  J  It was easy and turned out really tasty.

That's impressive! I don't think I'd have the patience to do that. haha

Actually, Tara, it was so quick and easy that it didn't require much patience! That was the good thing about it. :-)
