Here you go, use the chevre. I recommended you also buy a book from them.

Blue and Roquefort are easy to make too, You buy your nylon with stainless steel hardware, presses from ebay.
Of course you won't need a press for cottage.

I make a ricotta from goats milk.

I dined a local resturant that made their own ricotta & mozzerilla.

Has anybody done this? I'm looking for actual experience as opposed to Google searches. I need a full fat cottage cheese..

Sure! I eat cottage cheese at home all the time. I usually like it with a couple of pear halves, maybe with a little pepper sprinkled over the cottage cheese. Very tasty. :D


We actually did make cottage cheese in a science class when I was in grade school. It's not particularly difficult, though it is rather smelly. The hard part these days is probably in getting full-fat, non-pasteurized milk. You may need to go and find you a dairy farm somewhere and see if you can buy some truly farm-fresh milk to make your cottage cheese.

Do you live in a cottage? If not, there is no way you can make cottage cheese and your quest is futile.

Sorry Ginger I've only ever made labneh (yoghurt cheese), it is good though. :)

well WHY is milk pasteurized and whatever else?? Can you only make Cot. Cheese out of unprocessed milk? Are dairy farmers prevented from selling non-pasteurized milk?

For some reason I love ricotta!

The key ingredient in cannoli.
