For a smoother cheese, you can strain the curds for a shorter amount of time, leaving more moisture. Experiment with adding fresh herbs like dill, chives, or parsley to the cheese after draining for added flavor. Don't discard the whey! It can be used in baking, smoothies, or even as a nutrient-rich addition to soups.

01 Step
Recipe View Pour the milk into a large, heavy-bottomed pot and stir in the salt. (1 minute)
02 Step
Recipe View Heat the milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Bring the milk to a gentle boil – small bubbles will form around the edges. (20-30 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Once the milk reaches a boil, immediately turn off the heat. Stir in the lemon juice. The milk will begin to curdle. Allow it to sit undisturbed for 5-10 minutes to fully separate. (12 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Line a sieve or colander with several layers of cheesecloth. Gently pour the curdled milk into the cheesecloth-lined sieve, allowing the whey to drain. (2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Gather the edges of the cheesecloth and gently squeeze out as much of the remaining whey as possible. The solid mass remaining in the cheesecloth is your fresh Farmer's Cheese. (5 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Wrap the cheese in fresh plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy within one week.
