This recipe contain 3 sections

Mozzarella

Ingredients

2

3.78 Liters Milk, low temp pasteurized

1 cup White vinegar

Tips

For the best results, use high-quality milk. Avoid ultra-pasteurized milk.

Directions

Heat the Milk: In a large pan, add 3.78 liters (1 gallon) of milk ((raw, low-temp pasteurized, or non-homogenized milk; avoid using ultra-pasteurized milk) and heat over medium heat until it reaches 120°F (49°C).

Add Vinegar: Remove the milk from the heat and pour 240 ml (1 cup) of white vinegar while stirring. Stir for 20 seconds to mix well.

Rest: Cover the pan with a lid and let it sit for 15 minutes.

Separate Curds and Whey: Using a large spoon or spatula, remove the curd from the pot and place it into a strainer to separate the curd from the whey. Place the curd in a bowl.

Squeeze the Curd: Using your hands, squeeze out the excess whey from the curd. Transfer the whey to a jar for later use.

Heat and Stretch: Place the curd into the bowl and microwave for about 30 seconds until it reaches 155-165°F (68-74°C). Stretch and fold the curd until smooth. (Alternatively, use 155-165°F hot water and let the curd sit for 20 seconds before stretching.)

Repeat: Repeat the heating and stretching process one or two more times until the cheese is smooth and well-formed.

Rip into Strings: After a few minutes, rip the cheese into strings using your hands.

Mix with Cream: In a small bowl, mix 30 grams (2 tbsp) mascarpone and 75-90 ml (5-6 tbsp) heavy cream. Season with salt.

Combine: Add the cheese strings into the cream mixture and mix well. Set aside.

Notes
