Homemade Cumin Spiced Cheese on plateMaking my own cheese is my go-to idea when I see I've got a lot of milk that will soon expire. This is one of my favourite cheeses and it's so easy to make. You won't need any special tools, so this is awesome for beginner cheese makers.

Hi Attosa,

Do you use pasteurized milk or fresh milk?

Hi PL! It is regular store-bought pasteurized milk!

Hi Jess! I'm excited for you to try it. My mum has been making this since I was little and it's honestly been my favourite, even out of the expensive store made ones :)

Have you ever tried any different flavorings? I have a group of ladies that meet for brunch regularly and one of them is allergic to practically every spice. I was thinking of trying onion and garlic powder in one batch.

Spice-free, I have done garlic and chive and it was really nice!

I also love home-made cream cheese / ricotta, particularly with skim milk. Nutritional yeast with garlic powder add an excellent flavour as well as a bit of colour. Have had excellent success with such other additions as fresh basil, caraway seeds, ground-up salmon jerky (which I couldn't stand eating - as jerky - but was absolutely terrific in the cheese).

I did make notes about volume and measurements if anyone wants that information. wordswork at telus dot net.
