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!

[@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.

I"ll have a lot more love and respect for my cheddar cheese when I go to the store again . Thats quite a process. Thanks for showing.

[@fishfossils8858]

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.

[@Vikramshila_Express_Bhagalpur]

Hey Lisa , I have questions about cheese making process 1 Why we use Mesophillic Culture 2 Why we use calcium chloride 3 Why we use Thermophillic culture 4 Difference between Mesophillic and thermophillic culture 5 Does ageing cheese changes flavour and texture 6 How is yum yum now . I love her so much 😍

[@Cheese52]

Oh my goodness! I will try to answer all of your questions. 1. Mesophilic culture is used for recipes that keep the temperature under 102F. They become stressed at that temp, and die at 113F. 2. Calcium chloride is used when pasteurized milk is used. The heat treatment denatures the protein and the calcium precipitates (falls out) of the milk serum. Calcium is needed to set a curd, so I add it back in. 3. Thermophilic cultures can handle temperatures much higher than mesophilic, so they are used when recipes reach temps over 102F. 4. Culture choice greatly impacts flavor, so recipe writers use different ones to create the flavor profiles they are after. 5. Yes aging absolutely changes the flavor, texture and aroma of cheeses. And different aging techniques will affect those attributes as well. For example, a natural rind cheese will be drier than a wax or vacuum sealed cheese made from the same recipe because it allows for vapor exchange. 6. YumYum is good! She is currently sleeping on the window sill.😺💤 Hope that helps! Lisa

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.

Traditionally it is wrapped in muslin which gets a little mould on it - improving the flavour. That way it also dries out more, becomes slightly more crumbly. Many English cheddars are aged for over a year.

[@Cheese52]

Hi Keith, Ah yes! That is the traditional way to wrap Cheddar for sure. I have a video on Farmhouse Cheddar, and in it I show how to wrap a Cheddar, then I show a taste comparison of a cloth banded and a vacuum sealed Farm house Cheddar. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6WxZ3lpaNl7aaM Enjoy! Lisa

This video was right on time. Just started cheese making and was so confused staring at the directions I had. I've only made mozzarella so far. You made it 1000% easier. Liked and subscribed. My tools are janky and my cheese press is a Chinese bun warmer with a cake pan and 40 lbs of my son's dumbbell weight, but I try before I buy, lol!

[@Cheese52]

Oh I am so glad. Your system will work just fine, especially in the beginning. If you find yourself hooked (which you probably will) you can slowly invest in other tools. Welcome to the channel, cheese friend. Have a look around, find a few more videos to enjoy, and have so much fun!

It was indeed my first time on this channel, and I've subscribed. I like what you said at the end about how it's hard to wait for the ageing. I've tasted things like 9 year old cheddar and 20+ year old whisky, and I wonder how people manage to wait that long for things. Then again, I have a bottle of Fuller's Vintage Ale from 2014 sitting in my pantry and I'm still waiting to open it. And then sometimes you forget about stuff. I recently found some bottles of brown ale that my uncle made 17 or 18 years ago and they were still very nice, not even highly hopped or with a high alcohol content, which are the main preservatives for beer. Love your kitty, btw.

[@roberthunter4884]

"kitty flip" lol. Question: would sealing the cheese in wax have prevented that bit of mold that showed up or not? Also, you said you were saving that first pot of whey to make caramel? Do you have a video for that as well? Thank you for your video, I've always wanted to learn how to make cheese, but most of the other videos were too complicated or too vague.

[@Cheese52]

Ya, she's the star of the channel, that's for sure! To your waxing question: Vac sealing does a better job of mold control than waxing, in my experience. To your Whey Caramel question: Yes!

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been waxing mine and fighting cracks...I have my suckerbagger and NEVER thought to use it. This should make my goat and cow cheeses age nicer! THANK YOU for kicking me in the pants! I have a white cheddar that just came out of the press(I use my sausage stuffer to be a crank press) and it is drying...will be bagging it rather than fighting the waxes!!!!!!!!!!!!! My last aged almost 2 years in wax and I had one tiny breach that caused issues on one side.... This should be the best way to do this!

[@Cheese52]

Hi Cassandra, There are some advantages, for sure! It is a very easy process, and the clear plastic will help you see if any mold is developing, or if there is whey accumulating in the bag. If whey does accumulate, just take out the cheese, dry it off with a paper towel, let it air dry for a couple of hours and vac seal it again. Hope that helps, and happy cheesemaking! Lisa

When you strain out your curds, don't let any of the whey go to waste. Ricotta is quick and easy and really tasty with honey on bread.
