Health benefits of cheese
Homemade cottage cheese is a delicious and healthy food. Many studies have shown that cheese is a source of many essential nutrients for the body such as protein, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, carbohydrates, calcium, magnesium, potassium and many other vitamins and minerals.
A study published in the journal Nutrients found that cheese contains all the amino acids the body needs. Adding cheese to your diet can help build strong bones, improve digestion, and reduce the risk of cancer, muscle cramps, heart disease, asthma, and high blood pressure.
How to make fresh cheese at home
Ingredient
- 1.5 liters of whole milk
- Vinegar, lemon juice, curd or buttermilk
- Thin or loose fabric
Making
- Clean the pot, pour in milk and cook over low heat until boiling.
- Meanwhile, place a metal sieve or strainer over another pot, then line the sieve with cheesecloth or cheesecloth.
- Stir the milk occasionally to prevent it from scum forming on the surface and burning at the bottom of the pot.
- Once the milk starts to froth and rise, add four tablespoons of lemon juice to the pot. You can also substitute lemon with buttermilk, curd or vinegar.
- Stir the milk well after adding the lemon, the milk will start to curdle. When the milk curdles completely, you will see the water separate from the milk.
- Pour the mixture into the lined strainer you prepared earlier. Gather the edges of the cheesecloth and lift the bundle to drain all the water until the water stops dripping.
- Keep the top of the cloth and rinse with cold water, wrap the cheese tightly in the cloth and place in a bowl or plate and weigh it down with something heavy.
- Let stand for at least 30 minutes until the cheese is completely set. The longer you leave the weight on, the harder the cheese will be.
- Lift the heavy object and open the cloth to get the fresh cheese.
