Home made Goat Cheese

Image
  Goat Cheese This will produce 225 ish gr of goat  cheese. Perfect for experimentation (which this was for me). Scale up for more. EQUIPMENT Cooking pot, 3-4L Use a nonreactive pot like stainless steel or enamel. Colander or sieve. I used a large sieve. Cheese cloth or kitchen towel. Use a smooth fabric towel, butter muslin, not terry cloth. I used 3 25cm squares of muslin to drape over the sieve.
