Title: New cheeses
Post by: waterbuffalofarmer on February 08, 2016, 04:16:07 pm
So I have printed out some recipes to try with the buffalo milk. I am going to try and make camembert or brie with the buffalo milk and Caerphilly cheese too, which i have made before and was gorgeous. I am going to practice it with the buffalo milk and hopefully when my two sheep start producing milk I will make it out of their milk too and compare which milks are better, I think i can guess which one though. Isn't it all exciting though? Experimentation with different foods is what I love best, can't wait :excited: :excited: :excited: After this what cheeses shall I try and make? I was also thinking of making Pecorino with the sheep's milk, all of this would be exclusively for home consumption of course. When the units are running and signed off I will be making our exclusive buffalo cheddar and mozzarella for selling to the public. Exciting times ahead :excited: :)

I had some success with a recent attempt at goat-milk-haloumi. Also there are lots of good feta recipes out there which are fairly straightforward. I've never had any luck with brie/camembert so would be interested to hear how yours works out and see if I can pick up any tips.

We have done practice runs, for home consumption only; However once the units on farm have been signed off we will be making mozzarella and selling it. It should be ready (all being well) by the mid-end of the year. I will let everyone know when it is ready. :)
