Step 1

In a large cheese pot, heat the milk to 72°F.

Step 2

Add the starter and mix it in using slow, steady up-and-down motions for one minute. If using fresh cow milk, top-stir for 30 seconds more. Cover and allow it to set for 18-24 hours. The curd will be soft.

Step 3

Cut the curd into 1/4-inch cubes. Cover and let them set for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Bring the heat up by 1°F each minute until the temperature of the curds reaches 100°F. Stir gently every now and then to keep curds from matting or sticking together. Maintain the temperature for 10 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally.

Step 5

Increase the temperature to 112°F very slowly. This should take around 15 minutes. Once the curds have reached 112°F, keep them at that temperature for 30 minutes, or until the curds have solidified a bit more, making them firm to the touch. If they haven’t gotten more solid after 30 minutes, keep cooking and don’t go to the next step until the curds have lost their custard-like consistency.

Step 6

Let the curds settle to the bottom of the cheese pot, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Drain off the whey until you can see the curds. Line a colander with clean butter muslin and pour the curds into it, catching the whey in a bowl underneath. For less sour farmer cheese, gather the edges of the butter muslin and pick the whole bundle up like a sack, dip the bag of curds into cold, clean water a few times, then continue with draining as usual.

Step 8

Drain curds for several minutes, then put the sack of curds into a sink of ice water to cool them rapidly. Drain for several minutes more.

Step 9

Pour the curds from the butter muslin sack into a bowl, and toss them with the cheese salt, adding more according to taste. Stir in the cream now, if desired, to lend the cheese a creamier texture.
