25-27 January 2011

Ralph came to the house with a gallon of raw milk. Oh joy, oh rapture, unforeseen. It was so wonderful to work with it again. The curds set up well, though it took two days as the house is a bit cold. When it came time to drain them, they stayed in the cheese cloth while the whey went away. As to the molds--no cheese cloth linings. The taste, the texture...beyond compare. And the taste? Well, we polished off one of the rounds of Fromage Blanc at a sitting with a nice bottle of wine.
