Make a Cotswold cheese with me. I use raw milk for this cheese, but you can use store bought milk just not ultra pasteurized. for this, I used clabber culture to ripen but you can also just use a mesophilic culture.


Here is the recipe

1 tsp meso culture or 1 1/4 cup clabber8-10

1 tsp calcium chloride ( optional if you are using raw milk) diluted in 1/4 cup of water

1 tsp rennet diluted in a 1/4 cup of water

5 Tablespoon salt

seasonings: Chives 1 tsp per gallon, dried onions 1 tsp per gallon and granulated garlic 1/4tsp per gallon

Directions:

heat milk to 90°F
add culture ( meso backsplash whey or clabber) stir to incorporate
ripen 45 minutes
add calcium chloride if using
