All the "special"items you need are a thermometer, cheesecloth, citric acid (i.e. either a lil white vinigar, white balsamic or cider vinegar or you order the powder form), and farmFRESH milk. Their are a great many recipes online, but consider non seriously that have you taking the milk over 180 or adding a large amount of the acid. You only want the acid to do it's job, not provide a flavor profile. And salt to taste of course.<br />mhmm, think i might have to go make some ricotta soon now that i recommended it I'm hungry.Paulkeenonkeenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701351018343483477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115083762819846316.post-14889496581261102772010-04-21T19:34:17.501-07:002010-04-21T19:34:17.501-07:00Glad I found your interesting and well-written blo...Glad I found your interesting and well-written blog.

Rikki Carroll, who runs Northeast Cheesemaking Supply Co., is very hands on and can answer questions. I've never met her, but I've read about her in numerous sources, and she sounds grand. Good luck, and let me know how your first cheese-making endeavor goes.Madame Fromagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10303441163329031923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115083762819846316.post-91506364284225399982010-04-20T11:00:56.236-07:002010-04-20T11:00:56.236-07:00Livia, let me consult the cheese gods and get back...Livia, let me consult the cheese gods and get back to you. I don't know if there's a House of Rennet in PA, but I'll ask. I've met several people in the city who make cheese in their basements, so there may be an underground means of procurement.Madame Fromagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10303441163329031923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115083762819846316.post-59995015534253925222010-04-20T09:03:50.795-07:002010-04-20T09:03:50.795-07:00The food writing is really showing - very visceral...The food writing is really showing - very visceral description, and now I want to try that cheese.<br /><br />I'm thinking that this summer I shall try my hand at making my own cheese.
