Simple Farmhouse Cheese (Just Milk + Vinegar!)
I know for some of you, cheesemaking might seem like a more advanced homesteading skill that is only for experienced homesteaders. This is simply not true! I actually started making cheese when I lived in a small apartment with no land.
If you’ve ever felt intimidated by cheesemaking, this is the perfect place to start: no fancy tools, cultures, or experience needed.
What You’ll Need:
- 1/2 gallon whole milk
- 2–3 tablespoons vinegar (white or apple cider)
- A pinch of salt (optional)
How It Works:
- Gently heat your milk over medium heat until it just starts to steam (not boiling).
- Remove from heat and stir in the vinegar.
- Watch the magic happen. The milk will separate into curds and whey within minutes.
- Let it sit for 5–10 minutes.
- Strain through a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel.
- Sprinkle with salt, press lightly, and enjoy!
That’s it. You just made cheese!
Spread it on warm bread, crumble it over a fresh salad, or drizzle with honey for a simple farmhouse treat.
