Your cheese looks really good

We've been making soft cheese from our goats which is proving to be lovely, I had a pot of the cheap soft cheese from tesco and did a taste test, I couldn't believe how sweet the tesco stuff was compared to our own cheese, they must put a lot of sugar in it.

I admit I'm struggling to get used to goat milk snd cheese, but it's early days and I think we have a system going now which will avoid the goaty tang. You can get used to anything if you want to.

pop the milk in the freezer for an hour or 2.
tip - if using glass jars don't forget them and let them freeze solid, esp if filled near the top, I've cracked a very useful jar that I could get my hand in to clean out thoroughly

Thanks for the tip. Actually, I have no kitchen sink and the rest of the kitchen is upsidedown at the moment so all the milk is in the freezer until I have it all back to normal, I just leave a bit out for coffee. At least I know it's safe and fresh. we bought a few dozen plastic honey pots for when it's time to harvest so that's what we are using to freeze the milk in. I think I might need a bigger freezer!. The milk definitely tasts better straight from the milking
