9 Mouthwatering Homeade Cheese Recipes

1. Farmer’s Cheese

Farmer’s cheese typically refers to any un-ripened, un-aged, soft or semi-soft, white cheese. This is one of the easiest cheese recipe one can whip up in the comforts of your own kitchen. Essentially, this type of cheese is made by by combining milk with an acid and heating it until the curds (solid) separate from the whey (liquid). 

This is an incredibly versatile cheese with a mild, milky and buttery flavor. It is great for use as spread on crackers with or without other fruit or veggie spreads.

2. Queso Fresco

Queso Fresco is a traditional Mexican Cheese and is a quintessential part of Mexican cuisine.  It tastes slightly salty and mildly tangy, similar to Farmer’s Cheese. Quesco Fresco is a simple, quick cheese and is a perfect complement to a variety of dishes. Making this cheese takes no time at all — acidify the milk and leave to curdle, then strain in cheesecloth and press! Voila!
