It's Cheese Day!

The Cheese kit has arrived, pictured above you can see the cheesemat, cheesecloth, curd skimmer, thermometer, cheese culture, rennet, a variety of cheese moulds, a wooden cheese presentation block and the instruction book. This kit is for soft cheeses which have a short maturing time of a few days if the first few go well I will be ordering the cheese press to make semi soft and hard cheeses too. the first cheese is going to be cow milk cheese. For the first batch I need 3 litres of milk - this will make up the cheese starter liquid and the cheese. So first to buy the milk and sterilise the equipment, then make up the cheese starter which must be left to incubate for 24 hours. Myself and Mrs Cheese are trying to think of a name for our first cheese but we are strugling a bit.
