Unfortunately all the farmers around me are in a co-operative and so are not allowed to sell milk to individuals.  Also they have to make sure it is pastuerised before selling it on.  Can't sell raw milk.  :cat: :chook:

you wonder how the French make unpastuerized cheese and why milk straight from the cow is sold in HEALTH FOOD SHOPS in Germany. I used to go to the farmer as a child and have my bottles filled (and I'm not that old!!), we then boiled it up at home. Maybe I'll find a smallholder with goats, that would do me just fine  ;D

I followed Richard Mabeys recipe from "The Full English Cassoulet" for Corsican Curd cheese, it recommended Lemon juice as the curdler, but I found this to only curdle a little, so I used white wine vinegar, using enough until I'd separated the curd from the whey, I have also tried cider vinegar too but I thought the overall taste was better with the white wine vinegar, I washed the cheese gently afterwards whilst it drained to wash off any strong taste.
Hope it works well for you too.
