I received my DIY cheese kit a couple of days ago. Reading through the instructions, it was clear that mozzarella was the hardest to make. Well, it’s just like me to have to try to hardest one first instead of starting with an easy one, like ricotta. I followed the instructions for mozzarella…SUCCESS! And I have proof. Here’s the result!
Mozzarella!
Kit was bought from the Etsy shop UrbanCheesecraft

Yum, what do you plan on using your homemade cheese for now Lauralynn?
Well…I think I’ll make a batch of ricotta next then make some lasagna. 🙂
Sounds like a good plan.
Yay! I really want to try this.
It was MUCH easier than I thought it would be. The mozzarella looked hard, so I HAD to try that one. It went off without a hitch. 🙂
Beautiful! lol
I learned to make cheese from Anne Burrell (Secrets of a Restaurant Chef on Food Network)…ricotta! I never realized how easy it was. I also cook a lot of Indian food, and learned to make Paneer. (another very mild and delicious cheese. :} )
Never tried my hand at Mozzarella…
With this cheese kit, you can make mozzarella, ricotta (which I made last night), paneer, queso blanco, and chevre (if you have goat’s milk). Really, all it takes is milk, citric acid, and salt. And the mozzarella needs a rennet tablet.
You know, it’s really good to see you “out and about” again. 🙂
That’s awesome! If you ever get bored, you can always come over to my house and cook. 😉
Ricotta is so good in lasagna!
LOL, I wish we lived closer.
I always use ricotta in my lasagna. No cottage cheese for me…I do it the Italian way. 🙂
Mmmmm. You had me at cheese. How was the texture? I’ve never thought of making my own cheese but man, that looks good!
The texture was just like regular whole milk mozzarella. It was really good, but it needed a pinch more salt.
