How to Make Cheddar Cheese (with Taste Test)

How to Make Cheddar Cheese!
Cheddar cheese may just be the most popular cheese in America, and maybe the most popular cheese in the world! There’s just something about the way it crowns a burger, or fancies up a bowl of macaroni and cheese. It’s love at first bite.
If you want to learn how to make cheddar cheese, then watch this video and set aside part of a Saturday to make it. It’s not a difficult process, but takes about 6 hours to get it into the first press. You will feel like an accomplished cheesemaker for sure!
Happy cheese making!

Well actually you don’t HAVE to age the cheese, and most store bought cheeses won’t be aged at all, which is why it molds and goes bad, the cheese made in this video will likely not go bad for months or years. Just a fact to take with you.

[@Cheese52]

@@kristinatidwell6563 Sorry to hear about your illness. To your water question: I use purified water from the grocery store. Other cheesemakers I know use distilled. You can boil tap water to remove the chlorine. Making your own food is a great way to control what you ingest, and I hope you find recipes that are helpful to you here.

[@mamasimmerplays4702]

Start with your own cow - and your own bail feed for her, and whatever you need for your pasture's down time, so you're not buying fodder. Then you have pure clean milk to work with. The quickest way to turn milk into a solid you can eat is with either eggs or maize flour and honey, any of which you can also grow at home pretty easily. If you want to get really classy, pour your milk and egg mixture over some home baked bread (growing and grinding wheat is a bit of work, but doable) sliced and spread with home grown butter and honey, and sprinkle some home grown dried fruit between the layers of bread. Then just bake it in the oven and enjoy! All of which is quicker and less work than making cheese - but cheese is tasty too, and stores the goodness of the milk for later use.

Hi Lisa. I just finished my second wheel of your cheddar recipe - this one made as a gift for friends. Rather than annatto extract I used annatto powder. My powder was a bit grainy, and I was worried about the final result, but it looks absolutely beautiful - a reddish-orange curd with red flecks of annatto scattered throughout. It's beautiful. They like very sharp cheddar so it's going to age for a while, but thank you so much for the recipe.

Hi Vin, I am honored. Thank you so much for your support of my work! I am glad the powdered annatto worked well for you, and I am sure the flecks of annatto are really pretty! You have lucky friends- I am sure they will appreciate your hard work and efforts! Happy cheesemaking, cheese friend, Lisa

I live in Nicaragua so don't know if we can get hold of Mesophillic cultures here, but I will try, as Cheddar is my favourite cheese. This is by far the best video I have seen on cheese-making, you make each step of the process really clear and easy to follow, and you let the process take centre stage, no ego getting in the way, it couldn't be better and I can't wait to watch your other videos, thank you so much.

[@Cheese52]

Thank you so much! You could use cultured buttermilk in place of mesophiliic culture. Use 60 ml for 4 liters of milk. Hope that helps, and so glad you enjoy the channel!

First time I seen how cheese was made also. So impressed. I finally also after 50 years know what curds and whey are…enjoyed this video and thank you

[@jeromesassani9537]

Beautiful! It reminds me of the cheeses available from local dairies years ago. What do you do with the whey? Gingerale?

[@Cheese52]

Ooh,, I'v never tried to make gingerale with whey! My favorite use for the whey is Whey Caramel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iou9p3aEerCHeKs

[@ringwraith6]

Ginger ale? What do you mean? Like Vernors or Canada Dry ginger ale? What does cheese have to do with ginger ale? I must be misunderstanding something.

[@marlindaperez4173]

Great job in teaching how to make the cheese without a lot of useless chit chat. Loved the direct, to the point how to, almost as much as your cat🥰. I’m a cheese lover and a cat lady so it looks like I’m going to be watching you more often. Only channel I’d like to watch more of. See you again next time for more cheese making. I can’t make cheddar where I am now, but will try this as soon as I move. In the mean time I will watch your other videos to learn how to make more and be more proficient before I actually am able to start. Thanks again 😻

I LOVE cheddar cheese. I'm too lazy to make my own, but it's interesting and informative to see you make it. Good to know how if there's ever a cheese shortage and I absolutely have to DIY it. :)

[@SunriseLAW]

Survivalist Hint: collect parmesan cheese packets from pizza shops, etc. When the SHTF, use a razor blade to ration out the cheese on a hard surface such as a mirror. Use part of a drinking straw or make one out of paper. One nostril at a time, insufflate a small amount sufficient to moderate cravings until regular cheese supply is resumed.

I’m finding out that making Cheese is a lot like brewing Beer and and making Bread Thank You.

[@Cheese52]

Totally true! They are all culinary art forms in their own right. So glad you enjoyed the video.

[@nikelaloca8037]

Bread is easier than cheese!

[@CraftyZA]

@@nikelaloca8037 I'm not so sure about that. I can make pretty pretty epic lambic beers with lactic bacteria and sacro yeast. I've made few cheeses with success. Bread on the other hand... They are always so dense. I never seem to get a proper proofing. My sourdough plant looks healty. If I feed it, an hour later, it has risen almost to the bring. But bake a bread, and you have this square piece of dough that you can trow to kill a pig.

[@nikelaloca8037]

@@CraftyZA sounds like over-kneading. But sourdough is denser than regular bread. I youtubed" easy bread", and made a really good white bread first try. Maybe the type of flour matters... always sift.

Hey I just wanted to say I loved Yum Yum and watching you make this awesome creation! I had one questions, after you’ve cheddared the cheese in 15 minute intervals is that than cheese curds? Thank you so much

[@Cheese52]

Hi Hannah, Yes! You are exactly right. It does take a long time to make those curds with this method (about 6 hours) so I developed an easier method that produces fantastic curds in about 2 hours. You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pniVk2psZciep7s Happy cheesemaking! Lisa
