Not all cheeses have benefits in the body. In general, most industrial cheeses (those sold in department stores), contain much salt, bad fats and chemical additives and harmful bacteria that make them a truly harmful to health. This type of cheese cause many toxins and fat deposits in the body, in addition to that, contain too much salt (sodium), dry the skin, mucous membranes and damage the liver and other internal organs.

The healthier cheeses are certainly vegetable cheese of tofu, although the fresh cheeses like cottage cheese or handmade with no additives or much salt, or low-fat, are recommended. On this occasion we give 5 prescriptions to prepare 5 types of cheese very healthy with no doubt that can replace conventional cheeses.

  2. Allow to cool until it reaches a temperature between 36 and 40 degrees Celsius.
  3. Then add a few drops of liquid rennet or lemon juice and stir to mix well.

Arrange the cloth over a strainer and pour the curd spread, then, tie the four corners of cloth and hang to drain well, put a bucket under it for about 3 hours. Occasionally, press the cloth slightly with fingers.

The cheese can accompany it with honey, herbs, etc. It is not difficult to produce cheese in your house, perhaps most difficult is to get fresh milk, but you can enjoy a delicious cheese made for you.

Goat cheese

Ingredients (for 1 kg cheese):

  • 5 gallons of goat milk
  • Rennet (see detail)
  • 1 teaspoon of fine salt
  • ½ kg. of salt

Tools:

    MORE IN BIOMANANTIAL
    What is Ayurveda?
  • A large pot (over 5 liters) nonstick
  • 1 perfectly clean cotton gauze of about 50 × 50
  • 1 thermometer that reaches a minimum of 65 º C
  • 1 large colander
  • 1 small strainer
  • A spoon
  • 1 sharp knife

Preparation

  1. Perfectly clean the work place before starting, the utensils used and the hands, of course.
  2. Then strain the milk over the pan (this step is important because we need to care about some hair), and light the fire, loose (to prevent sticking to pass milk and temperature) and pasteurized milk holding at 65 º for 30 minutes. Pasteurizing milk is important to make sure we eliminate risks, to keep milk at a certain temperature for some time, we make life uncomfortable for certain bacteria and pathogens, such as those posed by the dreaded brucellosis. However, if the animals have a thorough veterinary check, do not use antibiotics with full warranty and are not necessary to pasteurize. So the slightest doubt, pasteurize and avoid unnecessary risks. Once pasteurized milk, temperature should be lower, just have to wait, at 30 ° C, then add the rennet.
  3. There are several ways to curdle the milk. We will make an enzymatic fermentation by the addition of two enzymes pepsin and rennin, which act on the casein or milk protein precipitating, resulting in the curd. For this we will use rennet. The enzyme renin in rennet is extracted from the fourth stomach of ruminants, however, and given the demand on the market commercially processed curds, both animal and vegetable and microbial rennet, I am going to use liquid.
  4. Once the milk at 30 ° C, add the rennet at the rate specified by the manufacturer, the one I use is to 1:10,000, which means that with 1 liter of rennet can curdle 10,000 liters of milk at home you can use rennet powder available in pharmacies and calculate the proportion that you must add in terms of milk that you may have. The rennet powder is dissolved before in a cup of water with 1 teaspoon of salt, to 5 l. of milk. Then add rennet to milk and move, with much affection, let rest, keeping the temperature about 35-40 minutes, at which time we will see how the surface of the pot is covered with a greenish-yellow liquid, the serum, and under the curd is formed.
  5. It's time to cut the curd, we at home can use a long-bladed knife and sharp, cut the curd forming squares and move the pot into a slight swing for 10 minutes, this helps to draining the curd.
  6. Now prepare the strainer covered with gauze, over a bowl and, using the small colander, removing the curds on the gauze. We drain the curd few minutes, after which, holding the ends of the gauze, we sort of bundle, squeezing it, forcing the output of the serum.
  7. We put a weight on top and left draining a couple of hours. After that time, we get the cheese from the gauze and placed it in the brine that we have done with the salt dissolved in water, kept in brine 1 hour and kept cool. The fresh goat cheese has many beneficial properties for our health, is loaded with vitamins and minerals, is a good amount of protein and very low in fat. It is very easy to digest, by making it an ideal food for people with digestive problems, children and elderly. It is important to eat the cheese in the next 2 days of its development, keeping it at any time in the fridge.

    Cheese is definitely one of my biggest weaknesses, and although it doesn’t have sugar, it is just loaded with fats. All in all, there could be worse addictions, adn I really try to limit my cheese consumption, but it’s so good!!! I’ve always been interested in making my own cheeses, and these recipes sound super good!
