I've started to get raw goat's milk for a few months now and make kefir with it (made at room temperature). We used raw cow's milk before that. I also use the goat's milk with coconut milk when I make ice cream and put the milk on my granola. My wife's 93 yr old mother moved in with us and is getting goat's milk added to her diet. Your video is really good and I'm looking forward to using this cheese recipe! I haven't done it before. We're into having our milk in its different forms as raw as possible so I'll be seeing if I can find a way to make it without heating it up very much. We want all the enzymes intact so it helps our gut biome. I'd like to hear the best ways to use the whey when the cheese process is done. Mahalo! Paul Jenkins
It looks like a wonderfully simple cheese to make! I love how adaptable and scaleable it is. I think this will be the first cheese that I make with my goats' milk this year. If it resembles Fetta, I will be so happy! The price of Greek Fetta here now is about $48 per kilogram.
Thank u for bringing us this special recipe 💗. I appreciate very much. I'm new to cheese making. I actually started out buying kefir grains and making that. Then draining the whey to make a thicker spreadable kefir cheese. Now I'm wanting to do many more. I have a goat who's in milk but it's not much now so I bought powder goat milk full cream. I luv it. I actually made chevre so far. I first had to figure out the amount of powder to use for each gallon because bought a 55 pound bag. I think I finally got it. I'm so glad I found ur video. 💓
@@ladyleeshome it is! I made it and it’s in the refrigerator! Can’t wait till tomorrow!! Was very easy to make! I will probably eat it with fresh crushed hot red pepper paste! On a roll of 🥖 bread! And love it on my salads to. I’m gonna make more this week. 🙏🏼
I have just found you but this video is great! I know ot is older and I am late to the game but am doing absolutely making this paired with your fermented beet recipe that I just watched! Hello from Texas!
I’ve made chevre, feta, yogurt, kefir, mozzarella, havarti and cheddar with raw goat’s milk from our two does. But this recipe is my new favorite. I just want to know what to call it!?
Ohhhh this is so awesome! It’s just so simple and delicious. And… I have no clue what to call it! It doesn’t really have a name. You can call it Lady Lee’s cheese 😆
I also skimped on the heated whey with the last step. But it came out fine barehanded at 90-something. I should do it hot for comparison. But my mission is to only do really raw-low heat-recipes, to keep all the good stuff.
I have made this cheese twice now and love it. It’s going to be my new go to cheese. Everyone that had tried to loves it, but what do I call it? Is there an official name for this cheese? Thank you so much for Sharing it!
The salt dissolves and soaks into the cheese. In fact, sometimes I need to wash it a bit with cold water before we eat it because it’s too salty. I’ve never tried to salt it before shaping it but I was definitely thinking about it. Especially since I’d like to try and add other spices that don’t dissolve like salt. Garlic powder, herbs and such. If you try, let me know how it turned out!
Shalom! When I was 19 I spent 4 months on a kibbutz, Ashdod Ya’acov Ichud which is about 4-5 km below the Kinneret. I cried when I had to come home. Years and years later I went back with my husband and have been back a few times since and visited my kibbutz every time I go. I was “assigned” to a family when is was 19 and spent time with them, I became very attached to them and consider them an adopted family and Israel as my adopted country. I pray continuously my Israel and my family right now. I am very excited to get going on this recipe as soon as my rennet comes in the mail. Do you add cultures to your cheese?
To some but not this one. This one is very easy! Sounds like you had a great time in Israel. There is nothing in the whole world quite like a kibbutz! I grew up in one and had a wonderful childhood!! I’m so glad that you enjoyed your Israel experience 💙
Thank you for such a simple recipe. It's summer here in Australia so I'm going to try this quick recipe tomorrow morning - it's perfect before facing a sweltering day :) Thank you for the story of the cheese also, and for taking the time to make the video And I will let you know what happens :)
I don't often subscribe after watching only one video. (I like them as an entry fee, of course!) What I want to know is how one can add the enzymes without getting the liquid stuff at the store. Meaning, what did they do "in the mountains" back before the modern age? I wonder if that woman in the mountains has any input on this question, as I love doing things as "off grid" as possible. Yes, I consider stores as part of the grid. LOL I will be making this cheese asap. (No, I don't have any goats, yet. LOL) I want to know what I can grow to use for the enzymes...
I ALWAYS have the same thought! I think in this case they used to take it from the stomach of the animal. I don’t know the process but I’m sure there is an old book out there that describes it. But keep in mind… when there was no store, the lifestyle was so so so different. I think their diet was mostly fruits, veggies, meat, nuts, and cheese that can be made by “going bad” in the sun.
@@ladyleeshome That is the lifestyle I'm aiming at. I want to learn all the skills, and develop them now when I have first world backups. But, I'm getting closer one old style habit at a time. I'm loving the journey!
Loving the journey is the most important thing!! I discovered that that lifestyle takes a community. I tried to do it all but it was just too much. But learning another skill and another is so much fun and it’s like creating a tool belt that gives you so much confidence! Enjoy every little thing and thanks for watching!!
@@ladyleeshome I will keep on watching for sure! Well, my wife and I are quite literally (I'll say supernaturally) in such total, foundational, and thorough agreement on this lifestyle, we have actually come to embrace it joyfully. So, the beginning is a very, very small assembly, but we meet every morning for prayer and worship, and every evening to close the day out with our own spiritual "evening sacrifice." I always loved the picture of the evening and morning sacrifices letting us know that Father would one day be OPEN 24/hrs!
I use a straight spatula to cut the curds (instead of a knife, but you can use a knife), and correct, no cheesecloth is needed. You can check out the post here: ladyleeshome.com/easy-raw-milk-goat-cheese/ There is a list of tools there.
What is the consistency of the cheese supposed to be like in the end? Is it supposed to be spreadable like chevre? Mine has turned out more spongy or rubbery it could probably be crumbled onto a salad but it is definitely not spreadable. That's why I was asking to see if I did something wrong.
You didn’t do anything wrong! This is not a spreadable cheese. It supposed to be just like you suscribes it. I usually cut it into cubes and add to salads or slice it thin for sandwiches.
We don't use plastic wrap. Can I just place the mold in a food storage container in the fridge and then put the cheese in a small mason jar and freeze?
Mmmm... Temperatures are very important in cheesemaking. I'm not sure, but I would try and see what happens. Cool the milk back to 80 F before you add the rennet tho. Let me know what happened.
Rennet. I use animal base but you can also find vegetable base. Click the link in the description and go to the post on the blog. It’s got everything written down.
I've never checked how hot it gets... I cover it with plastic wrap just to keep it from getting the smell and taste of the other things in the fridge. And to keep it fresh so it doesn't dry. I never put anything in the fridge without a wrap or in a container of some sort...
I don't know if it has a name... I learned how to make it from a goat herder's wife in the mountains of Israel. She just called it semi-hard goat cheese...
@@ladyleeshome That's so interesting! Since she was processing so much milk, did she age it? I think I might try waxing and aging and see what it becomes ;-)
@@rechellmullen6340 she froze it, I don’t think she ever aged it but it freezes really well. If you try to age it please let me know what happened! I’m curious.
Thanks for watching! I hope that you are going to give this cheese a try. I know you'd LOVE it!
Very nice of you to share this! I’m going to try it today
I hope it turned out well!!

On my blog, I have a post on how to make ricotta with whey. It works for some people. I also add it to bread instead of water.
Very interesting process and recipe. I hope your family is okay in Israel.
Thank you.

I need to buy some of your goat milk to try this recipe. 💜
I won't have any this season. I didn't breed my goat. Jessica has some though!
Looks awesome! Do you use vegetable or animal rennet?
Animal.
But I think that you can use either.
Come on no politics... This is a cheese making video!!!
Am watching from Washington state ❤God bless Isreal
Thank you! Your support means more than you know 💙
Great video and really well explained.
How long will the cheese keep in the fridge??
Thank you
Probably two to three weeks. Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback!

@@ladyleeshome 😃 ok sounds good! It’s great cheese! Thank you 😊
Question - why don't you salt it before making it into a ball? Wouldn't you want the salt to be all throughout not just on the outside?
The salt dissolves and soaks into the cheese. In fact, sometimes I need to wash it a bit with cold water before we eat it because it’s too salty.
I’ve never tried to salt it before shaping it but I was definitely thinking about it. Especially since I’d like to try and add other spices that don’t dissolve like salt. Garlic powder, herbs and such.
If you try, let me know how it turned out!
I’ve done this with feta and it works great. You just get salty whey. Maybe fine for animals but not great for watering plants?

Great! I subscribed to your channel. What do you you do with the whey? I’ve heard you can save it and use it in recipes.
Welcome! I mostly use it to make bread instead of the water.
What do you do with the whey?
I either keep it and use it instead of water when I make bread or I give it to my dog.

I wish you would have told us everything we need to do this before I got started.
Not sure what you mean…
@@ladyleeshome most recipes call for cheese cloth and a knife. You called for a mold and large ladle. At least I think it is called a ladle.
I use a straight spatula to cut the curds (instead of a knife, but you can use a knife), and correct, no cheesecloth is needed. You can check out the post here: ladyleeshome.com/easy-raw-milk-goat-cheese/
There is a list of tools there.
What is the consistency of the cheese supposed to be like in the end? Is it supposed to be spreadable like chevre?
Mine has turned out more spongy or rubbery it could probably be crumbled onto a salad but it is definitely not spreadable. That's why I was asking to see if I did something wrong.
You didn’t do anything wrong! This is not a spreadable cheese. It supposed to be just like you suscribes it. I usually cut it into cubes and add to salads or slice it thin for sandwiches.
We don't use plastic wrap. Can I just place the mold in a food storage container in the fridge and then put the cheese in a small mason jar and freeze?
Sure. You can also freeze it in a container.
Can this still work if you accidentally heated the milk up passed 80? Like 110 ?
Mmmm... Temperatures are very important in cheesemaking. I'm not sure, but I would try and see what happens. Cool the milk back to 80 F before you add the rennet tho. Let me know what happened.
@@ladyleeshome yes I cooled down the milk back to 80 and it turned out fine ❤️
At 110 I think you are still “raw” and not pasteurized, if that’s part of the intent.
Wow!
What is the name of the drops you add? The word doesn’t sound out clearly. Thanks
Rennet. I use animal base but you can also find vegetable base. Click the link in the description and go to the post on the blog. It’s got everything written down.
Can I use rennet capsules?
I e never used them so I’m not sure.
Do you have your goat milk yogurt recipe?
This is how I make yogurt: ladyleeshome.com/raw-milk-yogurt/
traditional Palestinian cheese that originates from the city of Nablus.
Good to know! Thanks.
Is this still considered raw cheese? I’m not sure how hot it gets during the second hearing process. Also, why do you cover it with plastic wrap?
I've never checked how hot it gets...
I cover it with plastic wrap just to keep it from getting the smell and taste of the other things in the fridge. And to keep it fresh so it doesn't dry. I never put anything in the fridge without a wrap or in a container of some sort...
Recipe?
Link to the step by step and printable card in the description of the video. Let me know if you can’t find it!
A mic would help so much. It is difficult to hear you even with volume all the way up.
This is an old video, I was filming with my iPhone then. I have better equipment now so hopefully the new videos are better.

I think you just made mozarella from goat milk using rennet
Not at all. This cheese has no stretch to it what so ever. Doesn't taste like mozarella either.
What is this cheese called?
