***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

Great video, but I have to say the most impressive part...was the pouring of the fresh milk from a 5 gallon bucket into the jars without spilling a drop. Now that’s impressive 😊😉
I actually thought the same thing. My first thought was, “oh I’d so have that all over the counter.” Lol Great job
Yeah she’d done that a time or 2 before lol
You are so right! I even said out loud, "Use a Stainless Steel funnel!" LOL!
Same!
@@dkaysette hahaha ... I was thinking a mason jar funnel but I too said it out loud.
In response to your tshirt
“He does live”
“Amen!”
He is risen indeed!
Every fairy tale is true.
@@elenasimon1270 Every truth is not a fairy tale.
@@elenasimon1270 Your negative comment spell out exactly how lost, lonely, want to be loved and desperate you are. DAMN, You gave your own INNDER SELF away. God Bless... and THAT is not a fairy tale either.
He is returning with great glory and power! Maranatha!
Hey guys! I just had a thought when Sara said she wished the sirracha flavored cheese had a slightly more vinegary taste. Have you ever freeze dried pickles yet? When you get them dry, grind them up into a powder then add your "pucker powder" to whatever you want to have that vinegary taste. A light sprinkle of that to the sirracha would put it over the moon! Let us know if you decide to try it. I use my pucker powder for all kinds of things from salads to dips and even in my version of German potato salad. It's a wonderful seasoning and so versatile.
Great idea...I’m sure Sara will love it
Brilliant idea!! I will be freeze drying pickles before I make my cheese curds.
Who else watched the whole thing knowing full well you’ll never do this? 😅 I love your videos Living Traditions! 🥰
I'm just at the beginning, but since I don't have a whole lot of milk, chances are I will not make it😁 I'm going to try camembert first!
I did
I kept thinking: Not only do I not have a cow and a freeze dryer, my colander is flimsy compared to theirs 😅💕
Of course!
@@Diana-ze8wu haha me too 😁
We had a Jersey when I was a child ... my hands could never get the milking down right and no milking machine for us. My mom milked daily and my job was to skim cream and set the churn every night to churn butter using my grandmother’s crock churn with a cypress wood dasher and churn butter the next morning before school.
And that was the good old days
Today you can "churn" butter in in a blender or food processor. I'll bet there are a lot of memories attached to doing that every day!
We had Buffalo. Very rich thick milk. we drank raw milk. At the time did not have fridge or even electricity in the village We boiled the milk three times. made yogurt/ butter, butter milk. Ghee. I loved thick cream after boiling and on cooling floating in pan. Rice with that thick cream- just yum yum -
And that's paneer in Hindi they made. with lemon juice and curdled milk. to make sweet and sour Indian dishes
@Vijay how do you use ghee?
@@debbie2663 I am keeping your post, I know interesting recipe of Cheese curry melt in mouth when I get time I will post it for you.
I don't buy junk food, so I learned recipes, too. Potato chips are super easy, and a great treat (use a potato peeler or cheese grater to cut them thin). Also fantastic is homemade tortilla chips. Some mesa flour, a little water, roll, cut and fry. Don't forget the salsa!
I used to make our chips like that when my boys were young and at home❤️
Yep but ppl just too lazy. Easy 2. Buy ay store
We had a “milk” refrigerator when we had a milk cow when I was kid. My mom used crocks that were about 6” inches deep that she poured the fresh milk in. She placed a dinner plate on top and stacked them in fridge. Because the crocks were essentially bowls, it was super easy to skim off the cream (my job). Mom churned once a week to make butter and butter milk with a large floor churn with a “dasher” made of oak that my dad made. I wish she hadn’t sold it.
Love you channel guys!!! Don't dump the salted whey...keep it in a small jar and use it (as the water) in your homemade bread, sub it for the water when you cook oatmeal or in a soup stock...it gives it great flavor! Hugs and Blessings
Yum! Lotsa protien too! I think this is what's used to make protien powders that are really expensive. I make ricotta with mine... reheat it, strain through small holed cheese cloth, add a bit more salt & some rosemary. Knead it or stir with a fork, pop it in a container with a lid. Put that in the fridge for a couple of hours. Add it to lasagne, mozerella, eat it with basil and tomatoes on baby greens, etc. Yum!
@@CarolReidCA so, what do you do to make ricotta? What's the special ingredient?
Freeze dry the whey!
Greetings from a German living in France. I love your channel. It's time to say at least thank you for all your inspiring work. God bless you!
Kevin and Sarah we love watching you two. You work so well together. We can tell through your videos that you enjoy each others company. With your new dehydrator, you two are turning into couple of mad scientists!
I’m sure you both have your days, but I’m impressed how you know what to do without using words. I like that he cooks as much as you garden/building fences! The two of you just work and have similar visions. You both found that rare relationship. Happy for all your adventures!
I think it’s also that they see working on their relationship as another reasonable household chore that yields a good return, like animal husbandry
@@michelleboyle6497 and some couples just click.
freeze dryers are great.
I really enjoy your content guys! And that t-shirt of "Plot Twist, He Lives" is awesome. I really do look forward to your videos, God bless, and stay safe always. Best wishes to you both.
Came here just to say this very thing.
Mom used to use a demitasse spoon to skim out of the milk bottles the milkman brought. Used only for whipped cream for strawberry shortcake. This was back in the mid 50's
We always had fresh, raw milk so we had to shake it a lot to mix cream back into milk.
So pleased that Rose is now so much into her routine now that the milking process goes smoothly.
Right! She looks like she has really gotten to be a good girl quickly on the milking stand.
Rhonda Albrecht I know the feelings. We had Buffalo who hated women. Only my dad was able to milk. Once when he was on away on work treat, I tried - she was so difficult, it took me few days for her to allow me to milk her. But after that- no problem. I was only 10 at the time. I miss that life even after 70 yrs.
Y'all never fail to teach your viewers! I'm living my life vicariously through your videos. Keep it up and God Bless.
You're incredible. The way you both have learned and adapted to animal husbandry is remarkable. Some people were just made for the homestead life!
I love your "plot twist" tee shirt. Happy Resurrection Day. "He is Risen!"
Amen!
He HAS risen indeed!
Be careful you will offend some snowflake and you will be demonetized or demonized!
Hallelujah!
Why fear the judgements of the world. The only judgement that matters in the end is God's. God bless Kevin and Sarah for their faith and strength in God.
Oh my this would be good as a crouton replacement for the extra crunch on a salad! Sarah and Kevin you are awesome!!
You and Justin Rhodes give me an enjoyable view into the homestead lifestyle. Your content is awesome! Much gratitude! Many blessings!
We always look for you and Kevin's videos first each morning and Justin Rhoades in the afternoon. Sarah, I love your attitude, how you and Kevin work so well together, and the wonderful information that you provide. You guys are great. I love your you tube channel. What a blessing and example you guys are for what a couple who works hard, has the same interests, and share faithfulness can accomplish.
Love the shirt. Happy Easter "And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive."
The long way round is called living. Enjoying life. Good on you.
Bonus to working overnights is that I am awake and ready when your Saturday video drops at 4am ☺
LOL got up yesterday, so disappointed that there was no video😩. Didn’t remember that i was off work for Good Friday! I really look forward to
These videos. Really love these two. God bless to you and Happy Easter.
@@psum6537 Happy Easter💜
I must tell you....your shirt was so appropriate for Holy Saturday!!!
Hope you don’t mind-I sent the sentiment to loved ones wishing them Easter blessings.
Sending you and your family those same blessings.
It’s a pleasure following you.
Thanks for sharing.
Sarah try dehydrating/freezedrying your schriracha before you put it on the cheese..then do the tablespoon of dried .. I dehydrate mine to powder and it keep the vinegar taste
You can keep your mozerella cubed in venegat or brine too! Yum!
When my kids were young, we would take them to a cheese factory in Oregon. The kids loved what they called squeaky cheese.
Cheese curds! I love good freshly made ones! They do squeak when you bite them lol
Tillamook!!!!!! It’s the best.
Tillimook is great! I took my kids there too! We got to try a 25 year old cheese (adults only). Nothing compares to it! I need a cave or root cellar so I can age my own white cheddar too! If you ever get a chance to try cheddar aged for 25+ years, absolutely try it! It's expensive because the care it needs, but it's so worth treating yourself!
In Wisconsin, Ellsworth Creamer is the home of the squeakiest cheese curds!
IMy kids loved it, too! Used to get our curds at The Bandon Cheese Factory, down by Coos Bay, on the southern Oregon coast!
Love your plot twist shirt! Always good to see a new video from my fellow Ozarkans.
I love that you 'get' the whole slowly ladling the cream off of fresh milk. I thought I was crazy for loving those moments so much.
I think activities like this is a time for opportunity to be thankful and know we are blessed. (I don't have a cow so in my case my activities are different, lol)
I'm from Wisconsin, so you know how much I love cheese curds. This is a great idea. Imagine how many flavors of this that you could make. You could even do snack mixes of different flavors together. How cool!
I love my freeze dryer. I've saved so much money using my dryer. Dried Cheese is awesome!!! My new snack is dried strawberries.
Freeze dried strawberries are my favorite. I buy them all the time.
I think my new goal is save for a freeze dryer lol
Do you have a Harvest Right also? I'm looking into buying one.
@@tinazatse7008 yes. I do. I have the large
I want one of those so bad....❤️
Strawberries are amazing!!! Try canned pears. They are soooo good!!
You two are so sweet together, i was just smiling over and over as it came to the tasting
LOVE your T-shirt!!! I was raised on a farm, but my hubby will not even touch a shovel much less a stove. How truly blessed you both are for finding each other. May God watch over you, your homestead and your family.
Your farm is beautiful and I have 1 question. “How do you keep everything so organized healthy and clean? Plz make a video or many short ones with how u take care of your gardens, home, meal planning, an interview with your girls and so many more.
Variety is the spice of life! I’m sure your lives do not get boring! Happy Easter Kevin, Sarah & family ❣️
A blessed Resurrection day to each of you and what a way to celebrate! Dried cheese curds instead of all the sweets that are around. Looks delicious!
I absolutely love your videos! Lots of great information and love your witnessing too.
My great uncle was a pastor and used to tell us all the time to “witness always and only if necessary use words”. You both practice that perfectly.
I’ve always tried to live simply and we just recently started raising chickens. I’m really enjoying them and looking forward to having their fresh eggs. I currently get fresh eggs from a friend. Looking for chicken info is how I found your videos. I’m thankful that I did.
I love you guys. You encourage me, even at 57, to do more in the way of making our own food. If only I had started 20 years ago before my disabilities became an obstacle. With that said we have a garden and 4 hens and we have a FD on lay away. I do canning but fd does seem like it will do most of our long-term storing. I imagine as seniors it'll be nice to still have the ability to enjoy my cooking without all the work.
So clever! As if I didn’t yearn to have a Jersey milk cow already! I think another great flavor will be using fresh herbs from the garden=garlic with basil, maybe?
Tomato, garlic, and basil would be a perfect combination! Great way to use up surplus tomatoes. Great idea!
Garlic anything would be amazing! Or maybe smoking the curds first! I can imagine soooo many options!
@@lhodgens I'm a garlic- holic! I eat garlic every day.
@@charleswise5570 same! I can't cook without garlic and onions lol
Remember thyme...mmmmm
Be careful, because you’ll end up having a second jersey milk cow just for your treats!😂
I think they're keeping the new calf for more milk.
I think they are already working on that
LOL! I could see that happening!
I don't think that's such a bad problem to have 😅🤣
You guys are amazing to be able to stay away from store bought snacks and drinks. I can't imagine
I make this cheese (queso fresco) a lot. I have discovered putting the milk into my instant pot and putting the yogurt setting to boil you don’t have to babysit it. It doesn’t burn and it comes pretty close to the temperature you need. Then just finish the process with the vinegar.
Great idea!
Sarah - I think if you add some powdered citric acid when you add the sriracha it would help add that tang you are craving! Thanks for sharing!
Kevin & Sarah if you miss Indian food I have a recipe that you can use all your fresh ingredients from home, except the spices, ginger & rice. This is such an easy recipe. I have made it for friends and coworkers and it is always a hit. Indian Butter Chicken
6 TB Butter
4 LB Chicken cut into 2" Chunks
1 onion, diced
3 Garlic Cloves
1 TB Ginger, grated
1 1/2 cup tomato sauce
3 TB Garam Masala
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin, ground
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup cream
salt & pepper to taste
In large skillet cook the chicken in 2 TB of the butter. Set aside. Using another 2 TB butter cook the onion until soft. Ad the garlic, garam masala, ginger, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne. Stir to combine and cook about 45 seconds. Add the tomato sauce and the mixture simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cram. Bring it back to a simmer and add the chicken. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Keep heat low. Stir in the remaining 2 TB butter and season with salt & pepper to taste. Serve over rice.
Loving the message printed on your yellow T-shirt, Sarah. 💜💛💙
I just love the two of you, the excitement level is contagious. The wife and I live in a small town but still in a neighborhood and we are planning on selling this house when our daughter graduates and buying some property so we can do the homestead life. We already have chickens, bees and a small garden but we are wanting more self-reliance from society. Keep the videos coming we are learning so much from your experience.
I could hear how crispy the cheese curds were! Great idea!
I keep trying to talk my husband into a milk cow, but I think the best I will get is goats. lol Thanks for another awesome video. We have been watching y'all since before we moved back from Korea in August 2020. You and several other homestead channels inspired us to start out own channel and we are having so much fun with it. Thank you! :)
I'd go for a gentle Jersey over any goat!
Electric milking machines are so worth the money. I was milking 9 cows by hand when my parents bought one. It made my life so much easier as I did the night milking by myself.
LOVE the Plot Twist shirt!
PRAISE GOD, He has risen!
Looks amazing! It would be really great blended up & sprinkled on popcorn, homemade corn or potato chips, or home fries. You could even use it in rice meals. Thank you for the idea. I'll be getting my large harvest right next month. 😊
We just got our HR freeze drier...AND we're getting our first milk cow! Can't wait to try this recipe. I'll definitely be making the buffalo sauce variety!! :D Thank you SO MUCH for your constant inspiration
Happy Easter! Thinking kindly of all the farms I watch, I went to my local grocery to buy some local farm raised beef and lamb. Surprisingly I found nothing locally grow or ethically raised. Some day I hope farms like yours will be in every county across our great country again... I got a nice looking rib roast and a leg of lamb for the day. Good thing spices and my Traeger will save the day for flavor... Thinking of all the farmers that made Easter meal possible. Thank you! Oh and you potatoe people I got you covered today. Happy Easter
I love this .. I too enjoy the process. I think it has been lost with our microwave culture. I want to make my own cheese and butter .. I am pressing in and would appreciate you all to pray for me. My name is Joyce. I am 60 today .. and I am ready to just be able to enjoy my last days ... on a homestead with my chickens and pigs and a jersey cow ... not there yet .. praying for it to be this year ... in Jesus name .. amen .. this was a blessing thanks you guys
Love the shirts she has had on
Sounds like a good snacks
Sarah has the link to Elly & Grace shirts with a 10%off code.
Yes, I loved the messages on her T-shirts today. 💞
The title got me, I was just about to stand up and get outside to do my chores but this title... It got me. lol
Love it! 28:39, one blissful Jersey cow girl. God is good, I sing his praise. Happy Easter.
*Oh my goodness! I LOVE YOUR shirt!!!*
❤️❤️❤️ *”He is Risen!”* ❤️❤️❤️
“You don’t even need a cow” Kevin says! 😜🤣🤣🤣 Thanks goodness because we aren’t quite there yet. We need your recipes for snack foods like potato chips! And other kid friendly snacks (with or without freeze drying) PLEASE! Pickle cheese is a necessity! Make pickle powder in the freeze dryer then make the pickle flavored cheese! Ranch would also be a great flavor.
Easter Blessings to Youz and Yours from MN
Thanks for the uplifting tee shirt. He does live! In me! And my family and friends. I needed that!
GOOD MORNING SARAH AND KEVIN LOVE TO SEE YOUR COW AND MILKING ROSE IS SO ENJOYABLE SHE IS DOING SO GOOD. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Very happy to hear that you love Indian food.
You all are invited to have Indian food at our home when you plan to visit India in future.
Enjoyed the flavoured cheese video.
Thank you. 😊
I live in bc Canada and just love Indian food
The smell of good curry always makes me feel good
How sweet! That would be a very special treat for sure.
Put the cream on your breakfast cereal. It’s fantastic!!
What a beautiful cow!! So glad you got her!!😀😀😀😀😀
Hi Sarah&Kevin, you have filled me with so much knowledge on homesteading+ how to video's. Always looking for more input, I "Thank You!" "So Very Much!" 😊🍯🍞🍳🌱
My mouth was watering watching you make the cheese. Looks and sounds delicious.
HI, Just came across you're channel by accident. When I was a kid my mom use to make dulce de leche with the old milk. It's sweet. You should try making it to see if you like it. It's a Cuban dessert. Thanks for the great video.❤✌
Good morning. Tfs the cheese recipe. Can't wait to try it. Happy Easter to you all. God bless
crazy expensive!! but I can see how handy it could be for harvest and camping supplies.
Three and a half gallons of milk. We pay 1.99 to 2.59 per gallon here in AZ so 6 to ten dollars for all that they had showing. I think it is reasonable. But need to already have the freeze dryer. For Sarah and Kevin it's just a way of them using up the excess milk on the homestead.
Mix up some ranch dressing spices . And a sweet treat , honey . The possibility’s are endless . That’s great !
Oh I like the idea of honey
Ranch Dressing powder sounds awesome
Suggestions: Try mixing the cumin, curry powder together & add a wee bit of turmeric & onion. I was raised in India & thus learned from the originals how to make curry. Not really that hard. Curry powder, cumin & turmeric are staple spices in curry. How about some garlic & onions in with the oregano.
Looks like a great snack! Thanks for sharing with us. Rose is in her home and has the routines down. So happy for you all. Happy Easter and blessings to you all. Fred 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Happy Easter. Love how you tend and treat your animals.
Love the lady's t-shirt.
One of my favorite flavorings for cheese is tomato basil. Tomato powder is perfect for that...I dehydrate my tomatoes to make the powder. Still no freeze dryer here to try this crunchy cheesy goodness 😢
Ty for mentioning dehydrating.
Yum!
Please tell me the temp you use on dehydrating
Thanks for sharing.
I was reading the comments thinking can you use a dehydrator if you don't have a freeze dry system? At what temperature and how long does it take to dehydrate the cheese? I'm fairly new to dehydrating.
I'm sorry for the confusion. I have not dehydrated cheese. I was speaking about dehydrating tomatoes for the tomato powder USED in the cheese. I will edit to fix the confusion.
I really enjoy your videos! I really admire what you have done in building your homestead. I cannot homestead myself, but I'm always learning something and I especially enjoy watching the animals. God bless you!
Great idea! I'm sure you're thinking of other flavors, I would freeze dry some tomato juice to make a powder & use that as well, dry ranch mix, garlic & herbs, etc... I think you're going to have a great time trying new flavors.
Kevin , I think you need a longer wooden stir handle. Love this website. Keep up the great work.
At what point can you make cottage cheese?
Yes make cottage cheese!!
Love Sarah's shirts. I wonder if there is a way to do something similar without a freeze dryer.
I wanted to know the same thing
Sarah you look like a ray of sunshine in this video...love your long hair. Mine is too thin to let it grow out. I admire people's hair I guess because I don't have enough. Milk looks SOOOOO GOOD!!! 😋😋😋 I like the cream on the milk. Oh my goodness!!
Ya' 'll make me miss my grandma...yep would be so nice to have a huge gallon jug of that cream. I would love making that cheese...but I'm thinking roasted garlic & herb
So amazing! I can not wait to do this. Great job you two, you are so much fun to watch. Thank you for sharing with us all. God Bless.
I just love you both! Down to earth! God bless! Also Happy Easter!
Thank you for another very interesting video. We thoroughly enjoy your channel and snack options. Best wishes from Shoalhaven Coast Australia
I was reading an article about freeze-drying, & it said that vinegar & other acids tend to evaporate along with the water. One way to restore the acid lost from the sriracha might be to dust the dried pieces with powdered citric acid.
Hi Sarah, there is another methodology to remove the cream, it is called a sipping straw ! Works very well !😎
Love that "plot twist". God bless.
Well this is timely. I went to the fridge and I had two gallons of expired milk. It still tastes fine so I'm going to try this recipe one one of the gallons :)
it is fine, best by date is NOT an expiration date.
I enjoyed watching this video & 🤎 the chemistry between the both of you! Thank you for sharing 👏
I appreciated how gentle she was with the cow.
I can't wait until my freeze dryer arrives. I will be making cheese snacks. (try adding some smoked paprika to that cumin!)
What brand freeze dryer did you buy?
@@HillbillyAcresSoapery I have a medium Harvest Right
You've peaked my interest in making cheese snacks.
Always great to watch you two working together on your homestead. You work so well together to put out great videos. ☺️
One of our favorite flavors for our homemade cheese is a combination of garlic and dill. Can’t wait for our freeze drier to arrive to try your snack idea.
You t-shirt is perfect "He Lives" Amen PRAISE God
I’m actually eating FD’d Cheese Cubes as I watch your video. From a fellow HRFD Owner. 💕
You mentioned using this as a salad topper. I bet The oregano would be delicious on a salad and (if I had a freeze dryer) I think I would do a garlic version for salads. I am a single person, so the small size freeze dryer would probably work well for me.
for a cream separator use can use and iced tea jug with a water spout on the bottom. Fill and drain off the milk. bless you and the family.
We love your shirt!! You are planting a seed for thousands of people to chose Jesus as their Lord and Savior to forgive them and live in Heaven for all eternity with JESUS.
Amen
Religion is like a pe nis. It’s a fine thing to have and take pride in but the second you whip it out and start talking about it to people who didn’t ask you’ve crossed a line. Extra points for the people who shove it down the throats of strangers. Cheers.
@@kathrynwitte3398 As a well known comedian would quip: "I don't care who ya are. Now that's funny!" (Not to mention, true...)
Can still use the whey ... and make whey cheeses (with the highest part and volume of milk with its healthy vitamin amino acids, lactose, milk sugars, and minerals in it. Simmer, stir, and condense down into the famous sugary and caramelized cheese of Norwegian gjetost, mytost, ... absolutely delicious candy cheese. One can even make whey cheese ricotta (pizza topping cheese). Can put both of these on popcorn, and you will have some fantastic movie theater cheese popcorn.
If you wash and pull the curdled cheese, washing out the milk sugars (and many of the actual healthy vitamins and minerals) (stopping the later enzyme production of cheese acidification - proteolysis), then you will have sweet cheese, like farmer cheese, string cheese, mozzarella, Indian paneer, or Mexican queso fresco (fresh cheese). All can be freeze dried for further dairy and storage options.
If you make butter and buttermilk (massively healthy drink), or making clarified butter (ghee), then having the popcorn-flavor ghee butter topping, you will have more healthy dairy products. Even making fresh cream cheese, or (English clotted cream) or acidified cream cheese (French version), you have even more options for freeze dried cheese products.
Using the freeze drier, one can then make dried crumbles and powders from : (1) butter, (2) buttermilk, (3) (skim) milk, (4) cheese, (5) fresh cheese, (6) cream cheese, (7) whey cheese ricotta and (8) gjetost caramelized cheese. You will have the greatest of all storage items - and totally healthy and nutritious snack and meal items. Any clarified butter is also pantry temperature storable as well.
When I make mozerella, I make ricotta too. When I see people on UA-cam dump their whey, I want to stop them! There's often another pound of cheese in there! I use fine cheese cloth, pour the reheated whey through it, add salt and dried rosemary. Knead and hang it over a bowl until all they whey drains, pop it in the fridge and it's great to eat in about 2 hours! My son taught me thst one the first time we made cheese together!
I sometimes like the ricotta better than the mozerella, and the mozerella is fantastic!
Well I wish you were my husband :))
I want to do all this but I just can’t do everything all by myself !
Great suggestions !
@@CarolReidCA I followed 2 ricotta recipes to make cheese out of my fresh whey. Neither worked. I did all the tricks of adding extra acid, milk etc but nothing. Can you send me your recipe? Why wouldn't it work? My milk is fresh raw milk for a Swiss Cow next door. I skimmed the cream just like she said to make the farmers cheese and that worked fine. Please help!!

North Wales Uk, I wish I could also join in with the tasting, looks delicious, next batches will keep improving as you adjust to your tastes, 🤗we made the cheese but never thought to freeze dry thanks for sharing 😀
