We Made Cheese

We made mozzarella last night.

The cheese was wonderful.

Kennan, with our cheese book and ingredients.
This is after raising temperature and adding citric acid and rennet. Turning into curds and whey.
 Pulling out the cheese curds.
 Dipping the cheese to reheat and stretch.
 Stretched cheese - ready for eating!
 Taste test #1:
 Taste test #2:
The cheese was fantastic! Lots of flavor and a good texture. Of course, I forgot to take pictures of it actually on the pizza that we made, but our friends who were here for dinner agreed that it was really good. Yum!

So cool! I want to try this someday - perhaps avec toi? My favorite part is the stretching part. I have GOT to do that!
