You guys were talking about how easy it is to make Ricotta earlier. I made some out of stuff I had lying around. 1 cup half&half milk, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/8 tsp salt. Microwave for 2:30, stir, strain through two paper towels in a colander.

My first cheese!

Thanks!

Was it actually good though? I'm extremely wary of cheeses aged past five years because they generally end up tasting like barf.

Barf in a good way, or in a bad way?

I tried really hard to like Limburger, I bought some really nice rye bread, nice mustard, cooked up some onions...

The smell didn't bother me, I just couldn't enjoy the taste.

In the meantime, the cheese store near me went out of business and never got around to ordering Epoisses for me.

I guess I've gotta get on that again.

I'm no bitch, and I don't care for Limburger. I've tried well over a thousand different cheeses and I find Limburger to be a pedestrian, gimmicky mess that's often severely overripe and inedibly ammoniated. Even young, it's not very good.


This is wrong

I'm just satisfied that I made a proper, good-faith effort to enjoy it.

Edit: I'm just gonna re-read the conversation before I decide if I want to talk about anything other than Cheese.

I think it depends on the type of cheese, but I tried a recipe that worked great with regular pasteurized cow milk, and totally failed with ultra pasteurized goat milk.

Regular milk gave me a nice curd mass. The ultra pasteurized milk gave me lemon flavored milk.
