Homemade CHEESE without Rennet in Fig Leaves
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2021
- Today we are going to add another homemade cheese to our list, the CHEESE in FIG LEAVES.
The peculiarity of this cheese is not only the maturation inside the fig leaves where it is wrapped but also the use of fig latex and lemon for the coagulation of the milk, it is therefore a cheese without animal rennet.
For this recipe you will need:
Whole milk 2 liters
Fresh cream 250 ml
Sea salt 2 tsp
Lemon 1/2
Fig leaves 4
Sprig of Fig 1
Cheese Baskets 2

Sorry I can not translate from the app 😬
You’ve got to quit saying you don’t know how to say it in English, you explain everything so well.
Thanks for your support ☺️
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato The way you say things adds even more charm to your videos.
😂 thanks
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato It's the truth! 🙂
Thanks 🤗
Man, your content is outstanding. Your videos are really well made, entertaining and highly educational. You have some amazing skills! home made beer and wine, beautiful octopus recipes, and even how to catch them, breads, cured meats and sausages, pasta, cheese and the list goes on and on ! I have learnt so much from watching your videos. Great traditions and old world artisan skills , that need to be kept alive and you are doing an outstanding job of doing this. This is culture preservation, so so important. Well done on another fantastic video, this cheese certainly looks SPECTACULAR!
Thanks 😊 please share the videos with friends and family 😉👍🏼 and if you want to share your dishes you can send me the pictures on instagram
Keep up the great work. Outstanding channel
Thanks 🤗
I am 3 seconds in, I have a feeling this is going to be SPECTAKOOLAR.
😂👍🏼 exactly 🥳
I'm starting this cheese tomorrow. Fig tree is in the garden, a farmer where I can buy raw milk is near and the rest of the ingredients are in my kitchen. I can't await to try this cheese in a few months. Thanks a lot for this recipe.
Spectacular 🥳 please share with me some pictures on instagram 🤩
Thanks ☺️
Can you do it with goat milk?
Yes 👍🏼
How is it going Martina ?
I just made this with cherry leaves because figs do not grow very well in Poland and I must say the outcome is amazing. It probably tastes different to the cheese in this recipe, though. Initially the leaves give a particular bitter, herbal taste but the creaminess balances it out wonderfully. This gives a very pleasant, sweet end taste. Thank you for this recipe! Love the channel!
Spectacular 👍🏼 thanks for sharing your experience 😉 me too I should try with different leaves 🍃 thanks
I planted 2 fig trees and can hardly wait for them to grow so I can make this cheese! It looks delicious 😍
😉👍🏼 brava 🤩 yes 👍🏼 it’s spectacular
I will be doing the same in North Carolina, USA! I love figs and fig jam; it’s a win win for me!
@merk9569 bravo 🥳
Hi, Chocolate Heart! I make rennet cheeses as a hobby, but this is very interesting and, as usual in your recipes, aims at people with no special equipment, which I really like. This one is a bit different though as fig leaves are a very special equipment. Luckily I live in a hot country with fig trees growing wild. I started yesterday and have my first comments. I decided to double your quantities, so bought 4 litres of supermarket milk. It is of course pasteurized and is not really suitable for making cheese, which is the point of your recipe - using what's available to everyone. A note on pasteurization: industry has 2 methods of doing it - lower temperature for longer time or higher temperature (above 100 C) for very short time. The latter is even less suitable then the former and if possible should be avoided. In my country it is stated on the package - pasteurized or super pasteurized. If possible, I recommend to find this out. In my case I could only find the super pasteurized, so my attempt is a good example. So, my first comments. I tried to line the baskets with fig leaves as you showed it - pushing them in with another basket. The result was that the baskets got stuck so hard that it took all my strength to pull the empty one out and the leaves got torn in the prosses. May be it works if the baskets are not the same size. In the end I just arranged the leaves in the basket with my hand and it was easy to do. Second comment. Juice of one lemon (for 4 litres) wasn't enough to create the desired curds. I added about half a glass of vinegar to the milk to get the result. So, guys don't panic if doesn't curdle up, just add some vinegar. (If you don't have lemons, vinegar will work anyway). From 4 litres of milk and about 350 ml of cream, using juice of one lemon and half a glass of vinegar, I got three baskets of cheese the size shown in the video. It is now in the fridge for 24 hours, will keep you posted.
Thanks for your advice 👍🏼 keep us updated 😉 it will be spectacular 🥳
I also just finished making my fig cheese. I totally screwed up but somehow I managed to get 4 baskets. I had bought raw milk in a gallon size and realized a gallon was more than two liters. So I added more cream and adjusted accordingly. After letting it sit for 30 min stove off, I added salt and lemon. I used 2 lemons and got about half of the liquid to turn to curd. But unfortunately I misread the salt and instead of two tsp...or 4 for double I used tablespoons. I am bummed. But next time...like tomorrow I will go get more milk and try again. I appreciate what you said about the adding of vinegar. You are right. It took a lot more lemon to get it to curdle. Thanks for posting. Your comment made me feel better.
I have raw cows milk can I use this for making the cheese? Thank you
Sure 👍🏼 it will be perfect
I literally have a fig tree in front of my house! Can’t wait to try it 😁
Spectacular 🥳 keep us updated 😉👍🏼
Oh you are so blessed. Hmmmmm
😂👍🏼
So this will work in summer season too, right?
Had a fig tree. Had to cut it down due to caterpillars and bag worms ☹️
Hello. Following this one up, as promised. I tasted the cheese number 2 after 2 months curing in the fridge. The texture is much harder, more like Gauda and such. Started to develop a crust under the layer of leaves. The leaves look amazing, the colour is a palette of dark green with blotches of white mold and dry as a piece of parchment. The aroma of fig tree is still there and that's what makes this cheese so special. The taste is delicate and neutral, not "cheesy" enough for some people probably. I like it, though. Will conclude this comparative review in one month.
Thanks buddy 🥳
You are an absolute star! Thanks for your informative replies.
@maureenschinkel8348 😂 thanks 🙏🏼 please share the video with your friends
I want to be your neighbor. Knock Knock, "Can I borrow a cup up cheese? I ran out."

You prepare your dishes so fluently, so easy way! Spettacolare! It's very motivating!
Thanks 😊 If you try the recipe you can share the pictures with me on instagram or if you tag me I can watch them 🤩
The commercials in this video are such a head snap away from the calming comfort you and your environment put me in. Love your content.
Sorry 😩 but it’s necessary
Man, I have fallen in love with your videos. Your style is fantastic! Your explanations are thoughtful and clear, and the recipes ARE spectacular. Thank you for every little advice you have shared.
Thanks for your support and for sharing the videos with friends and family 🥳
I seriously LOVE your videos! They're so simple, so there is no overwhelm or 'analysis paralysis'. I can't wait to try this!
Thanks ☺️ keep us updated 😉👍🏼
I am so in love with everything you do.
😂👍🏼 thanks
Day 2. So of course I didn't have the patience to wait for 24 hours and went to the fridge to see how the cheeses where doing after about 17 hours. I found them set hard enough to handle and proceeded to the next stage - turned them over and covered the other side with fig leaves. A note on the fig leaves - they wilted a little and became more pliable, may be next time I will pick them a day before. Ok, now the cheeses are back in the fridge for 5 days (if I have the patience). Fore a full disclosure, I use a special fridge where I cure salumi. The average temperature inside is 10-12 C and average humidity about 80%. I still hope that something useful can be learned by all who cares to read this. N.B. This recipe has a sentimental value for me (thank you, CdiC). Many years ago, when Lira was a currency, I was driving around Italy. Walking through a very pretty village I came across a little grocery, so little that they had baskets outside by the door. The baskets where full of cheeses wrapped in leaves (I thought they were vine leaves, is there a recipe like that?). The leaves were dark with age and the whole picture was evocative of centuries of tradition. I think that was the moment when I became I hopelessly Italophilic.
🙂 please be patient 😉👍🏼
Probably similar but different cheese, you need the rennet and the vine.
Keep us updated in 5 days
The fridge with that temperature and humidity 👍🏼 will be perfect 🤩
I've just followed this recipe, can't wait to find out what it tastes like! SPECTACULAR 👌👌🧀
Bravo 🎉 send me few pictures on instagram
How was it?? ✨
Loved the video, so relaxing. And now I'm craving some bread and cheese.
😂👍🏼 thanks

I have two new fig trees in front of my house. It's late in the year for this recipe, but I will be ready next spring. Mille grazie.
Spectacular 🥳👍🏼
I have a fig tree in my yard! I can't wait to try this!!!
Bravo 😉👍🏼 let us know when you make it and please share some pictures with me on instagram 😀
I have none of the time or wonderful ingredients to make these lovely foods, but listening to him talk is just perfect asmr.
😂👍🏼 thanks
Amazing as always Chef and the cheese looks beautiful, wow got to try that one day, Thanks.
Thanks 😊👍🏼😉
Thanks for the recipe and inspiration ! I'm finally able to taste the cheese I made following your instructions. I think I didn't use enough salt (ground salt might need more than 2tsp) but it's definitely worth trying the recipe ! I used sheep milk (which is very thick) and no cream. I prefer 'fresh' cheese and it started to be a bit mouldy in the fridge so I taste it after 1month already and it's very good !! thanks for your great videos 👍
Spectacular 🥳 thanks for sharing your experience
Lots of love from Kenya. Keep going!
Thanks 😊
Brilliant thank you, I make lots of home made cheese and I will definitely be making this one come spring when my figs trees get their leaves back :)

Thanks for the advice
I am going to try this one with my fig tree! Thank you for sharing wonderful recipes!!

Thanks 😊 please share the videos with friends and family

This was fascinating! I was wondering, do the fig leaves impart much flavor, or do they just act as a natural wrapping to the cheese?
Both 😉👍🏼
Both
I've got loads of fig trees so definitely going to make this. I have 20kgs of bananas from my garden that is about to become banana wine for Christmas
Spectacular 😋 let me know when you taste all this food
You can try this one too th-cam.com/video/_3Pck1uCam8/w-d-xo.html 😉

I live in south africa..... Bananas grow like weeds for me
@@MrTrevims ok i thought someone managed to grow bananas somewhere in Europe

How does it work with goat's milk? 🤔
Goat’s milk will be perfect 🤩
This video has motivated me to get me some goats, just to make this cheese.
Will grape leaves work or does it require specific enzymes from the fig leaves.
I just read your reply to vine leaves. They require rennet. I will stick with fig leaves. So simple and divine. Thank you so much !!
😉👍🏼
This recipe is mind blowing, astonishing, amazing, wow!!! Respect!!!! Will try to make this, although at this time of the year it will be hard to find fresh young leaves.... . Stay safe and be blessed, greetings from Greece

Thanks ☺️👍🏼
Thank you for sharing this video very interesting cheese without all the hassle
😉👍🏼
Excellent video. In some countries people collect the sap of figleaves and use it as a plant based rennet. Interesting!
Exactly 😉👍🏼
Non riesco a credere quanto sia semplice e bello da realizzare, grazie per la condivisione! Proverò questa ricetta l'anno prossimo; un'insolita tempesta invernale ha danneggiato così tanto il mio fico che sta crescendo dalla radice solo ora, quindi le darò un anno per rimettersi in salute

I am going to try this! I don't quite understand what the fig branch does though. None the less I will definitely give it a try. I have two fig trees in my back yard that I can use some leaves from.
The fig branch is like rennet 😉
