    You use kefir to make the cheese as well what ratio do you typically use and do you add liquid or powder rennet directly to kefir milk or add in a different way. Does the kefir cheese come out consistency of cream cheese/boursin or is it firmer more like feta or cheddar?

    Do you have any suggestions for how someone could do this on a much smaller scale? I have very very healthy and active kefir grains and have got to a point now where I’ve got kefir coming out of my ears lol 😂 I already make my own kefir yoghurt, sour cream , and mozzarella but I’m looking for new things I can do with my excess kefir, such as this! I don’t have access to raw milk unfortunately as I’’m in Asia, but I do at least have access to and use low-temperature (65°) pasteurized milk… 🙏 How can I do what you’re doing on a small home scale to get those nice solid rounds of curds and age the cheeses to develop more flavours…

    They are called grains because Legends says that it was gift from god from heaven and even Noah kept them and then after that it was given to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Muhammad gave it to Turkish tribe in cacasus Mountains and they kept it for generations and it became a secret but later Russia started commercializing it and this is how it spread. So when they were in heaven they were originally grains that adapt to minerals that we feed it.

      Tanya Rice I know I'm a year late, but typically when aging cheese you look after it in a more contained environment, say a ripening box for instance. You also typically put it in a brine solution after you finish pressing, for a period of time, before shelving it. Then maintenence like wiping it with salt or brine is done for a while. This will help develop a rind and prevent growths.

    @backyardsounds 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @mozaikadezign I have made kefir cheese as well, however I did not need to use any rennet. The kefir will get acidic enough that you do not have to. I have experimented in the aging process and what I found intriguing is that the older it gets, the milder it gets! I've only gone as long as 2 weeks because I end up eating it all! It's great on those fancy thin water crackers!
