Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the cheese
  • 1 gallon Fresh milk Use high-quality, non-homogenized milk for best results.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Generously salt the exterior after forming the cheese.
  • 1 tablespoon Rennet Use traditional or vegetable rennet as per your preference.
  • 1 packet Cheese culture Required for fermenting the milk.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gently heat the milk to around 30°C (86°F).
  2. Add the culture and rennet to the milk, stirring gently to combine.
  3. Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed until it sets firm.
Cooking
  1. Cut the curds into small pieces and cook them gently, monitoring until you achieve your desired consistency.
  2. Drain the curds and transfer them into a cheese form, pressing them for several hours to encourage whey separation.
Finishing
  1. Carefully remove the cheese from the mold and generously salt the exterior.
  2. Let your Bianca cheese age for at least a few days for optimal flavor development before indulging.

Notes

Wrap any leftover cheese in wax paper and place it in an airtight container in the fridge. Consume within a week for maximum freshness. Freezing is an option, but the texture may change.
