Put the milk in a big pot and heat it gently on the stove using medium heat. Stir from time to time to avoid food from sticking. Warm the milk until it is almost boiling, reaching a temperature of about 190°F if you have a thermometer.
Add the special ingredient: When the milk is hot, take it off the heat and softly mix in the white vinegar. You will see the milk thicken when the vinegar’s acid starts to work.
Let it rest: Let the mixture sit for a few minutes. During this process, the solid parts will separate from the liquid.
Filter and Squeeze: Place a colander with a clean cloth inside, then pour the mixture through it to collect the solid parts. Gently squeeze the cheese to get rid of extra liquid, giving it its shape.
Time to savor and have fun: Move the cheese from the fabric to a dish. If you want, you can sprinkle a little salt, herbs, or spices on your cheese to give it more taste. It’s ready to enjoy right away!
The Happiness of Sharing
My grandma always said that the most enjoyable part of cooking is eating together with others. This cheese made at home is soft and has a gentle taste. It is great for putting on crackers, mixing into pasta, or enjoying on a piece of fresh bread. It brings a part of Italian tradition to your table, encouraging stories and memories to be shared as easily as the wine that goes well with it.
Enjoy the simplicity of this recipe and the happiness of making your own cheese. It is a great way to remember the past and make new memories. In the end, the most special recipes are those that unite us, filled with love and the warmth of homemade food.
