  • Like many things in the culinary world you can make Cottage Cheese at home using two different methods or recipes. In both cases the process involves acidifying the milk (either with bacteria and enzymes, or with straight acid) which curdles the milk.
    How To Make Traditional ‘Old School’ Cottage Cheese:
    The traditional process involves using ‘good’ mesophilic bacteria that convert lactose into lactic acid and rennet (an enzyme) that coagulate the milk into a solid block of curd.
    This block of curd is then cut into cubes, and the whey is released.
    Ingredients:
    4L (1 gallon) whole 3.25% milk
    125 mL (½ cup) live culture kefir - or 1 packet Mesophilic Starter Culture
    8-10 drops liquid rennet
    Method:
    Slowly heat the milk in a heavy pot to 30ºC (86ºF).
    Add the kefir and stir in well.
    Mix the rennet into a ¼ cup of room temperature water, and then stir this into the milk.
    Turn off the heat, cover and let sit undisturbed for 3-6 hours.
    During this rest time try to keep the temp of the milk between 70ºF - 80ºF.
    You will know when to move on to the next step - the milk will be solid, and will shrink away from the sides of the pot slightly.
    Cut the curds - as I show in the video.
    Slowly increase the temperature of the curds / whey to 45ºC-46°C (113ºF-115°F) and keep it a that temp for 30-45 minutes.
    Drain the curds through a cheesecloth lined colander or sieve.
    Squeeze out as much whey as possible, and then rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove any remaining whey.
    Allow the curds to drain well, and dry out slightly.
    You can salt the curds and mix with a little heavy cream before serving, or eat / use as is.
    How To Make ‘Quick’ Cottage Cheese.
    Ingredients:
    4L (1 gallon) whole 3.25% milk
    175 mL (3/4 cup) white vinegar
    Method:
    Heat the milk in a heavy pot to 50ºC (120ºF).
    Stir in the vinegar, and turn off the heat.
    Continue stirring for 1-2 minutes while the curd forms.
    Cover and allow to sit undisturbed for 20-30 minutes.
    Drain the curds through a cheesecloth lined colander or sieve.
    Squeeze out as much whey as possible, and then rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove any remaining whey**.
    Allow the curds to drain well, and dry out slightly.
    You can salt the curds and mix with a little heavy cream before serving, or eat / use as is.
    **You can now use this whey to make ricotta!

    There is probably more home-made cottage cheese made in India than any other country on earth. Here’s the simple method used in millions of country households: no rennet, no cloth, no cutting required.
    Get some raw unpasteurised milk (from the lady down the road who has a cow).
    Get some curd starter from a neighbour (if you don’t have any leftover from the last time you did this). The curd starter has the bacteria in it.
    Warm the milk until you cannot comfortably keep your finger in it (about 50ºC/120ºF).
    Turn off the gas, add the starter, stir well, cover and let it sit overnight.
    In the morning the milk will have curdled to a yoghurt consistency. Keep aside a few tablespoons of this as starter for next time and keep it in the fridge.
    Reheat the curd to the same temperature. It will immediately separate into very firm curd solids and whey.
    No cloth is required as the curds are quite solid, just use a fine sieve to drain the whey.
    Done! You can consume the cottage cheese fresh as it is, or you can turn it into an even more amazing product. Just mix through salt to taste and let it sit covered in a bowl at room temperature for a few days until it smells like real cheese. The flavour is fantastic.

      I take 1 litre pasteurised milk with 250 gm home made curds and boil both together till it curdles.Then add 1/2 tsp lemon juice. And switch off heat. When it cools a bit, put the cheese cloth in a sieve, dump the curdled stuff, tie and hang till all whey drops in the bowl kept below - about 2 hours.No squeezing. Weigh the tied cheese and keep in a tilted pan till residue whey drains. Cut into yummy creamy squares. You can do the same with kefir. There will be more whey, is all. Every housewife does this in india. You can add sea salt and chopped mint/coriander/parsley etc before sieving and hanging the cheese if you want to eat just cheese cubes.

    I think the rennet one will have more flavour if you give it some time for the lactobacillus to ferment it. If you do this you can add a little bit less rennet, because the lactic acid will help curd it. Tradtionally the curds were hung in the cheesecloth from the faucet.

    My mother made a great, foolproof, cottage-cheese-like recipe for ages: 2L of buttermilk at 200F for 2 hours in an uncovered 9x13 casserole dish in the oven. Strain through a fine cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel. It comes out as a cross between ricotta and cream cheese. It's pleasantly spreadable, still has a little bit of graininess, very slightly tangy, and has only a tiny fraction of the fat as cream cheese.

    I've found that cultured pasteurized buttermilk works fine when I've used it. I believe the milk is pasteurized, and then the culture is added afterwords in the ones I've used. I'm not entirely sure, I've never really looked into it, but it's always done the job when I've wanted to make cultured butter by adding some buttermilk to heavy cream and letting it sit overnight at room temp covered with a cheese cloth. I get creme fraiche, and then I put that into my mixer and go until the fat separates into butter.
    I don't know how it is in other regions, but if you're in doubt, you can't go wrong by getting a packet of culture and hydrating it in some milk. I recommend using the packet method whenever possible, because while buttermilk can work and has worked for me when I've used it, the packets give you much more consistent results.

      i remember bagged milk as a kid, it was in western canada until the early/mid 90s. we would snip the pouring corner larger then the back corner just a bit, to stop the milk from splashing out. we even had scheduled deliveries of milk bags to our front door step. twice a week i think? there was a 'no milk today' sign you could leave in your window if you were stocked and didn't need the morning delivery.

    Here in Brazil we do have milk in bag as well. And the same plastic jug with no top/lid, to set the milk bag. The only thing that we do different is, we clip the 2 tips of the top of the bag, so the milk can go out and air goes in. The stream of milk goes out way better w/o the 2nd tip. Good video, cheers!

    We put a little cream or half and half into to ours when after draining the whey. It gives the cottage cheese a bit more creamy flavor.

    We used to buy raw milk from a farmer and it came in glass gallon jars. It didn't take long to figure out that you needed a plastic or wooden utensil to stir the cream in as mom broke a couple of the jars.

    I’ve only made the vinegar version, but I was very surprised to see the look of your leftover whey. When I made it I got considerably more cheese, and almost no proteins left over in the whey. Mine was clear yellow like you got with the rennet version. I’m wondering if it was something to do with the temperature of amount of acid.

    • @ethelryan257
      @ethelryan257 Рік тому +1

      Good point. I use that ratio, too, but lower temperatures. As I love the taste and am fine with the temperature and always use the whey, It doesn't matter to me that the yield is lower. It's by far the best flavor.
      Of course, I do add salt and boy does that make a gigantic difference.

    I learned this over 50 years ago- the vinegar based cottage cheese tastes enormously better than the Junket version.
    It's also super fast.
    I don't know why that is, but it is. By the by, I have found that the vinegar will do the job at lower temperatures if a bit slower. It seems the less time the whey is separating out, the better the taste and the fewer curds made.
    Thanks! I used to do this all the time, think I'll go back to it.

    You can do ricotta if you heat the milk up to 200 and let it drip dry for about 12ish minutes. It's basically the same stuff. But I'm glad I know how to make this now, I love cottage cheese.

    Hmmm in Central NC have a tiny (personal size) cultured butter milk that is awesome. I seed quart jars with it and there are soon bubbles ... got to be NC -- live!) I use that or the home converted cultured buttermilk. I let it sit overnight and it firms up on its own (or it doesn't) 18 hours with a little rennet after an hour of incubation. Its decent but I dont get large curds ... maybe if I heat after the initial setup ...

    I make vinegar cottage cheese, both soft and compressed(paneer) the paneer is a great frying cheese. I always end up with a clear-ish wey with that sort of greeny tinge. If it does not go clear with the first application of vinegar, I just put in more vinegar. So I think you did not use enough vinegar. I usually use white wine vinegar. You can also use lemon juice, but the result is not as consistent.

    • @ethelryan257
      @ethelryan257 Рік тому

      True, though lemon juice does work if you go to a slightly higher heat. I try to keep the milk as close to 32C as possible and that works with vinegar, have to go above 40C with lemon juice, at least in my notes from over fifty years ago when I learned both methods in Germany.

    BTW Milk in plastic bags was a response to plastic milk jugs being introduced on a widespread basis in North America in the 70's. When the jug was washed by the dairy after its initial use, the hot water caused it to shrink. Unscrupulous distributors filled the now smaller jugs bearing labels with the original volume. The one use plastic bag was the industry's response addressing the issue.
