If you are a beginner cheesemaker, Butterkäse is the perfect cheese to start with. It takes only several hours to make and then just four weeks for aging. Mild and soft, with a sweet, nutty taste, this one is easy to love any way you serve it.
Clabber is raw milk that has been left to sit out at room temperature until it thickens. Once thick, clabber is like a sourdough starter: shake a bit of clabber into a new jar of milk, wait a day or two until it thickens, and then repeat to infinity and beyond. For the regular home…
This mesophilic, washed-curd cheese is cultured with clabber and aged it for only two-and-a-half months. It is SPOT-ON. An absolute classic.
Colby is a cold water washed-curd cheese with a short aging time of just 4 weeks, though it can be aged for much longer, if you like. Sweet and mild, it’s a great snacking cheese, as well as an excellent melting cheese. This one is a family favorite.
Cotswold is a type of cheddar that originated in Cotswold, England. Freckled with dried chives, garlic, and onions, it makes an excellent snacking cheese.
A rich, creamy cheese, perfect for fresh eating and baking. Bonus: this cheese freezes beautifully, so consider making an extra large batch and then freezing a few pounds for later.
Cuajada, a salty, fresh-curd cheese from Nicaragua, takes only an hour to make and requires nothing but milk, rennet, and salt. There is no cheese press, cheesecloth, or even a refrigerator required. Just, a kettle, thermometer (optional), and your hands.
Using cultured cream to make butter elevates butter to a whole new level. Plus, the buttermilk is incredible: thick and frothy, it’s perfect for baking, drinking, or culturing milk for cheese (or culturing another batch of cream for more butter).
Derby (pronounced DAR-bee) is a type of cheddar cheese that originated in Derby, England. It’s a minimal-fuss cheese, well-suited to recipe adjustments. For example, try culturing it with a homemade clabber in place of cultured buttermilk, or add some extra cream for a richer cheese, or age it with lard-soaked cloths for a more nuanced…
This is a variation of Butterkäse that I developed because I wanted a cheese that was firm enough to slice yet so soft and rich that it was almost knife-spreadable. This is a high-yielding cheese with a short aging time — only 4 weeks — and it’s an easy crowd pleaser. I hope you enjoy…
This cheese’s depth of flavor is fantastic, in large part because of the combination of raw milk, clabber culture, and natural rind.
This washed-curd cheese is cultured with homemade yogurt and gets its eye development from the addition of propionic shermanii.
What do you get when you cross a Jarlsberg with a Colby? A Jarlsby! This cold water-washed curd cheese has a creamy texture, the appearance of a Colby (if Colby were white, that is), and a hint of Swissy-ness. It’s an all-around good snacking cheese, melts well, and makes everyone happy.
Lady Zella is an Appenzellar-Style cheese. With its elastic texture and mild, sweet flavor, it’s reminiscent of a cross between an Asiago and Gouda. The crowning glory of this cheese is her rind, which is developed by frequently washing it with a tea made of dried herbs, wine, and B. linens.
Semi-soft with a washed rind, this Munster cheese tastes like a cross between a Brie and a Raclette. It’s divine.
Queso fresco is an all-purpose pressed cheese that can be eaten the same day its made, stored in the fridge for weeks, and enjoyed in all the classic cheesy ways: sandwiches, snacking, and cooking. It even melts beautifully! So if aging cheese is problematic for you but you still want to make wheels of cheese,…
I’ve tried lots of different mozzarella recipes with varying degrees of succes, but this one (from Turkuazkitchen on Instagram) has turned out perfectly every time. It’s fast, stretchy, and creamy-soft, and it melts wonderfully. Use it fresh on pizza or in grilled cheese, or freeze it for later.
