Making Goat Cheese-Fromage Blanc Part 1


Making Goat Cheese-Fromage Blanc Part 1



I'm so excited to have access to raw goat milk once again. The products you are able to create, is more valuable than most realize. This led me to blog on my experiences. Though my expertise is limited, I look forward to sharing these with you.

As you see in the first picture, you will need one gallon of fresh goat milk. Always use stainless steel pans and utensils.







In the picture above, I am heating the milk to a temperature of 86 degrees. This happens quickly so be sure to stay close to the stove.






Add one packet of culture (I used C20) and stir. You can buy these cultures from Caprine Supply or Hoegger Farmyard. They are fairly inexpensive. If you store your cultures in the freezer, they should last up to five years.







The next step is to allow it to sit covered for at least six hours.


Part 2 of this blog is coming soon.
