I can see this being a great "quick cheese" base - allowing you to play with all sorts of spicing which is where it looks like most-if-not-all of the flavoring is coming from.

@helloshiny8475 8 ай бұрын

I just had this thought now, looking at my spices. If I can make this cheese and it works it's gonna get made over and over.

@jenniferlloyd4807 8 ай бұрын

I made it with white truffle salt at the end. I used 1 Tbsp. It's amazing.

Video froze earlier, so good to see the whole process. I make heavy long times, but is interesting to see quickies to craft a week before a family function. Curd Nerds have their own time: quickie (under 3 months), be done in a bit (3 months to a year), yeah might be a while (longer than a year).

I've not made cheese in a couple of years. The whole double boiler thing was always annoying and getting the temperature accurate was a pain. But at the same time, I've really enjoyed getting into sous vide cooking. Now I feel like a doofus for not realizing my sous vide was the perfect answer! To celebrate, I think I'm going to make some Smokey Imposter and try some Smokey Imposter Fries with pomegranate seeds and lime yoghurt. Thanks Gavin!

I'm going to give this a go on Friday. I made Yesterdaze 2 weeks ago. I air dried it for a day and quartered it for aging tests. Kept one quarter out for early investigation and it was lovely after a week! Of all the cheeses I've made so far, it was actually my Mother's favourite!!! (She lives next door.) Can't wait to have the time to do this one!

@kingboarhog 8 ай бұрын

Is there a way to put pictures on here? I pressed it at 30 Lbs and it came together nicely. I'll know how it turned out tomorrow. I'm drying overnight.

Made this today and I'm very pleased with it, thank you. I halve the quantities for budget reasons and 4pts of milk makes enough for us. The texture is good, firm and easy to slice, and the flavour is delicate. I love these quick cheeses, thank you.

Wow amazing, I just made a "yesterdays cheese" with onion, garlic, tumeric powder and some hickery smoke power a week ago. Really came out well. This though is great as I could fry it where the yesterdays melts. More milk in the shopping list ...

Great looking cheese. The timing of this video is perfect as I was for something quick and simple to do next week. One question, can you use the whey for ricotta? Thanks as always, Gavin

@GavinWebber 8 ай бұрын

Probably not, as it’s quite acidic already and may not yield much

@persnikitty3570 8 ай бұрын

If it can't make ricotta, then gift it to your garden, especially acid-loving plants. I'm a 'every part of the pig' person, so primary cheese, secondary cheese (unless Blaand is planned), then everything else goes to the garden and flowerbeds.

@dc-k4868 8 ай бұрын

I'll use it as stock if I can't make ricotta, it won't go to waste!

Hey Gavin, this is a Claudia Luchero recipe, including the name. It was published in her book "One Hour Cheese" which came out 10 years ago. Not sure where you go the recipe, but would be nice if you could add a credit for Claudia to your video. Thanks!

I've noticed in earlier episodes your cheese cave mini fridge. I'm in the process of getting the supplies for my own cheese cave and i don't think you have a video on the subject? I know there's outlets that control the fridge to get above normal fridge temps but what about humidity? And i noticed you have some vacuum sealed cheese in yours. A video on this explaining all this would be greatly appreciated!

@nicklloyd9165 8 ай бұрын

There's loads of videos from charcuterie and homebrewers on YT that use an Inkbird 307t to keep a fridge at 50-54F. And then a small humidifier to insure 80%-85% humidity.

@johnhowaniec5979 8 ай бұрын

@@nicklloyd9165 that's what I'm getting the inkbird i was curious on what he does for humidity i read where people put little humidifiers in the fridge but again Gavin has been doing this a long time so i wanted his input on what he does?

@GavinWebber 8 ай бұрын

Any cheese that requires humidity, I keep in a ripening box with a damp cloth under the mat. The has worked for me for many years.

What about liquid smoke next time?

@FullSpeed_only 8 ай бұрын

My (limited) Experience with liquid Smoke is that I only like the Flavor if it is heated afterwards. Otherwise there is a Component to it that I really don’t want. Obviously depends on your Smoke and Taste. So I’d only use the liquid Smoke if the Cheese gets grilled.

@davo2225 8 ай бұрын

That’s outstanding! Would you muck around with the amount of vinegar or temps to get it to melt?

@GavinWebber 8 ай бұрын

You could definitely do that, but it would be more like quick mozzarella

@snealthyfox 8 ай бұрын

Could you do this cheese without the renet? Would it work well to just use another acid base? I can never seem to find renet cheaply available nearby Would love to know your recommendation for this Gavin!

Great video- and great new cheese to try my hand at. But a question: there is no calcium chloride added. No need to add any or it would make a better curd if we nevertheless added to store bought pasteurized milk? Thanks, Gavin.

I would like to make this today but don't have any smoked salt. I wonder if I could swap out the smoked salt for liquid smoke?

@GavinWebber 8 ай бұрын

You can, but only if you grill/fry it afterwards. Otherwise the flavours will be off. Make sure that you increase the flakey salt to compensate for the lack of smoked salt.

@furqanhasan343 8 ай бұрын

How can I smoke the salt? I am from Pakistan and there is no smoked salt and smoked paprika available
