Buy organic milk that is nearly expired and deeply discounted. I've found that organic milk tastes best.

Farmer's Cheese Tvorog Recipe

milk

buttermilk

layers of cheese cloth

Allow the milk gallon and buttermilk to come to room temperature on the counter (about 7 hours).

Pour milk and buttermilk into a large soup pot. Cover and place in a warm (100˚ F) oven for 1 hour or until mixture feels luke warm.

Remove from oven and place in a warm room and let it sit for 24 hours. When it's done, it should become the consistency of sweetened condensed milk. It pulls when you lift it up with a spoon and should not really stick to your spoon if you insert it vertically and remove it straight out. Do not stir.

Day 1:

Place on the stove again over low heat, uncovered for 40 minutes or until it is warm. Do Not Stir. You have to heat it up slowly, since high temperatures destroy the nutritious protein.

Remove from stove and place in a warm room for another 24 hours (again, next to the heating vent on the floor).

Day 2:

Place on the stove over medium/low heat for 40 minutes or until hot (do not boil). The cheese will separate from the whey. Turn off the heat and let it sit covered for an hour (this helps for the curds to separate as well).

Place 4 layers of cheesecloth over a large colander inside a large bowl.

Pour cheese mixture over the cheesecloth. Tie the top of the cheesecloth and hang it over your kitchen faucet for 8-10 hours OR place a cutting board either in a baking dish or in the sink. Put bag of cheese on top. Cover with another cutting board and place a heavy weight over the top.

Remove cheese after 12 hours and make something tasty or refrigerate. You can let it sit longer if you want a drier cheese.

How To Make Farmers Cheese Recipe

Gallon Organic Whole Milk

Glass Container

Pour all of the milk into a wide Mouth glass jar and cover it.

Store it on your kitchen cabinet or in a room temperature dry place for the next 3 days and let the milk ferment.

Day 2 – Fresh Cream

On a second day a fresh Cream forms on top of the milk. You can collect this and use it as a spread for your breakfast.

Day 3 – cooking

Third day, you will see the top of the Fresh Cream beeing a bit dry and see some cracks. That is the time to make the Farmers Cheese.

Place all of the milk into a big cooking pot and switch on the heater for low. Do not mix during or after. More you mix, less curds will form and therefore less Farmers cheese you will have at the end.

Cover it with a lid and let it cook on the lowest temperature possible for about half to 1 hour depending on how much milk you are using.

Let it sit

Once you see the Whey being separated from the curds, it is the time to switch the heat off and let it fully cool. Do not stir.

Check if ready

Once the milk is cooled, check with the end of the spatula if the curds are properly formed, by gently moving the curds away from whey. When you feel comfortable that enough curds have been formed and all of the Whey is fully separated, it is the time to move into the next step.

Strain

Very gently strain all through a strainer covered with a muslin cloth. Pour slowly and let the whey work through the strainer into the container. Let it sit and rest of the whey will slowly drip through.

salt

juice of 2 large lemons (about 2/3 cup)

Put the milk into a large pot with a lid, and add a pinch of salt.

Heat the milk on medium high heat, stirring occasionally to avoid burning. When the milk begins to start to boil (small bubbles appear at the edges of the pan), remove from heat.

Remove from stove and add the lemon juice into the hot milk and stir.

Allow the curdled mixture to cool, for about 15 minutes.

In a separate bowl, place a colander lined with cheesecloth ready for the tvorog mixture.

Carefully pour the mixture into the lined colander. The curds stay in the cheesecloth and the whey in the bowl.

Tie the muslin into a knot to drain. Hang on a faucet over the sink for at least 4 hours, or on a kitchen cupboard handle with a bowl underneath, but best in the colander in the fridge overnight (or until you are happy with the consistency of the tvorog).

Reserve some whey in a glass jar and refrigerate for future use in breads or crepes.

Untie the cheesecloth and enjoy your Farmers Cheese!

Hi there! About how much cheese will this recipe make? My recipe calls for 4lbs of farmers cheese and so I want to be sure to make enough!

Yummy. Made it with vinegar and added a good pinch of salt. Easy. Will make blini crepes using the whey and will stuff and roll with the cheese. Yummmmmy!!! Thank you Peter. Winner winner.

I made it last night and I have to say Thank you ! for sharing your recipe here ! Everything turned out awesome and my tvorog is absolutely delicious. Making syrnyki for my son today.

Lol, I was hoping it would help.  I was adding ingredients tp the pot and realized what i did immediately.  But figured I'll let it process and see what I get! 

 It tastes good, has the consistancy of ricotta, would be could with some savory herbs stirred in and on water crackers.
I  was making the Tvorog to make your Goose's Feet Cookies.  I might still try this mistake in the cookie recipe.  I will definetly try again correctly.  LOL
