Fresh Mozzarella Cheesemaking Tutorial | Raw Goats Milk & An Experiment With Store Bought Milk

[@ncgreenie6707]

You are so kind to experiment with regular milk for those of us that can’t get raw milk! Thank you!!!

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

It was the first milk I’d bought in a long time! I’m really glad it worked!

[@boomboom7364]

@@RootsandRefugeFarm Can you add the salt to the milk/water mixture instead of after the cheese is made or would adding salt before change the consistency?

[@dre.ale.1191]

@@RootsandRefugeFarm I know this is an old video, so not sure if you will see this, but what if you don’t use a microwave? My husband and I haven’t owned one our whole marriage (by choice) and are starting our first goat herd. Do you have suggestions for people who don’t use microwaves but still want to make cheese?

[@rachelholdt6840]

@@dre.ale.1191 if you're using raw milk, you can heat the whey and melt the mozzarella curds in the whey. With pasteurized milk, unfortunately, it won't melt in the heated whey. You can do a search on KZbin or Google to find out the temp to heat the whey for melting the curds.

[@Fiona2254]

I also appreciate the experimentation with regular milk.

[@lauracampbell3110]

My Dad was a licensed cheesemaker and one of the cheeses he made was mozzarella. The cows milk they used always was pasteurized, my Dad was pasteurizer certified too. I had no doubt the pasteurized milk would make mozzarella. It was cool to see how to make cheese on a small in home kitchen scale. Thanks for sharing this video. Dad has been gone for almost 6 years, and this video brought him back for a few minutes.

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Thank you for sharing that Laura!

My daughter followed this recipe using Nigerian Goat's milk, and got it to come out! Love you woman

[@adamsfamilygarden5222]

Hi Jess, Love ❤️ your Video!!! Haven’t watched you in awhile, So Happy to be Home. I missed Watching My Favorite Family ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tater357]

Awesome seeing the differences in both kinds of milk. Thank you.

[@lisabooker6405]

Oh my goodness! I’m so adopting you!! My daughter made over. She would soooooo tell the same “cheezzyy” joke! 😂🤣😂 You’re an absolute doll! Thank you and God Bless! ~Lisa

I love what you say about the dishes! Love it! Forget the dishes!

Excellent tutorial you are a natural teacher God bless

[@melaniemarshall835]

Your a sweet heart! Wonderfully made with smiles and love.. How fun you are to watch and learn from.. how natural you are in front of the camera.. I'm so happy to have come across you here.. Cheers everyone! Enjoy your mozza! Xo

[@heatherzlotyh7267]

Thanks jess for your encouraging manner of teaching us all these old ways We all love it😊❤️

[@ashleighrosinbaum166]

Just made it with store-bought milk! It turned out great!! Thank you for the exact directions! You made it very easy to follow! 👍😁

[@debofwmi2214]

As I am going through these vlogs from oldest to new I’m truly enjoying them! I hope to see more of your cooking vlogs. You and your family are a blessing to your viewers 💕

[@bernicebeardsley4846]

This is the first video I ever watched of you. I've never forgotten it. I'd still like to make it.

[@VerbenaComfrey]

Thank you for showing us that cheese can be made in a real, living kitchen that maybe almost never has a completely empty sink!

[@sheiladebban3776]

We did it. Made it first with my girlfriend while watching your video over and over. Then made it with my hubby. He was so impressed with our fun little date night experiment. We love you and your pure heart.

[@lbsmith83]

Love watching you in the kitchen too. Nobody I’ve seen has done a comparison of both milks. It was very interesting. Thanks and God bless you and your family.

[@tabpowell6150]

Great video. I've always heard "boring women have immaculate houses". Very much enjoy the gardening vids. Always wanted to make mozzarella and now will thanks to you. God Bless.

[@loreleikrebbs6474]

You honestly have made my small dream of owning a homestead seem much more achievable than i originally thought! When i met my husband we hadn't really thought about it and since we've been married our health had been declining with thyroid, autoimmune diseases and vitamin deficiencies. Part of that has been because our eating habits and just not eating whole delicious fresh foods and not getting outdoors like we used to. I personally am more of the picky eater but I want to try to start making an effort to try new things and expand my tastes through a small garden on our apt porch. I haven't actually achieved growing any thing to harvest yet, I have kept on trying and this is my third year to give it a go! I'm preparing my stuff to start plants at the correct time and use a lot of what i have learned from watching you and teaching me tips I can use(I live in N. TX) and it helps to know little tidbits you add in your videos! You and your sweet family are such a delight to watch and see someone living in a way i strive to and it's so incredibly inspiring! I hope that you know how important a resource you guys are and how amazing it is to spread such happiness and knowledge! Keep up the hard work and I can wait to join you in having a homestead and a great way of living!

[@michellesirois6954]

Thank you so much! I dont have access to fresh milk and appreciate you playing Sherlock for us😉😊Ill be trying this tomorrow

[@nicolebotes8949]

You Jess make my day! Please never stop making this beautiful, helpful, cheerful heartfelt content! It's so amazing and you are completely inspirational! All the wya from South Africa x

[@mikkileon6380]

Thank You Jess❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@joannethorburn3145]

Thank you for trying the regular milk. Really helpful.

[@cat3rgrl246]

on KZbin if you look up making cheese with powdered milk you will get a number of channels that claim it will work so i am not surprised that the pasteurized milk did. Thank you for all the wonderful content you do a lovely job and explain a lot with enough detail that even a beginner can understand all you do

[@TheOrganiclady]

This is so funny because I was wondering if you ever made goat milk mozzarella. This is why. Your husband seems to be really talented with building stuff and I'll bet he can make you a really great Italian pizza oven. It would be great outside on your property. There are lots of instructions on KZbin) And you can also roast meats in a pizza oven. I can only imagine how great your pizzas would be with the mozzarella you make and fresh tomatoes, garlic and holy basil all from your garden! I have been after my husband who is from Italy to make one but he just doesn't have that gift of building. Anyway, I enjoyed the video and I will have to give mozzarella making a try. 💐

[@debrarandall6913]

That's great Jess! Thank you so much!

[@katieconfer5858]

I've watched this video 3 times now, and the curds and whey joke makes me smile every time haha.

[@toysintheclosetshop5443]

Holy Cow! Success the first try. Easy! Delicious! I'm keeping the whey for cooking (or treat the chickens) and I gave the cooking water to my dog. He loved it! No waste here. I'll be making this often.

[@mmmmgoodlife4571]

I've used store bought cows milk and I follow your method except I microwave it in 1 minute increments instead of 30 seconds. It always turns out good! Love your videos!

[@karenkitchens766]

Ok I had to.. thank you sweet little miss muffet! 🕷❤️🕷❤️ I love how you made goats and cows milk mozzarella cheese. You’re the best, Jess!

[@CedarRidgeFarm]

So I was browsing through KZbin and I came across your channel with gardening tips and I just got lost watching your channel. My grandson and I are going to try to make the mozzarella cheese. Thanks Jess

[@lesw3803]

I feel so blessed to have discovered you

[@WholesomeRoots]

Very good job! We love making homemade goat mozarella! Have you ever made string cheese sticks by stretching it out long and folding and long and folding etc. Then cutting it with scissors when long. I have a mozzarella video showing that fun technique at the end. Great video! Xoxoxo

[@bama_grits259]

I'd love to see that video to Rose .. I'll look for it in your playlist!!! Love ya Honeykins!!

[@lisamartinez1125]

Thankyou , im now going to try making my own mozzarella cheese

[@theverch1]

@wholesome roots that sounds amazing! I’m really bummed that I wasted a gallon of goat’s milk. It never turned completely to curds and whey.

[@laurarich2599]

Oh my goodness! I am definitely going to try making mozzarella. Thank you Jessica! It is pouring rain on our zone 6 coast of Maine. Looking forward to growing veggies this year and am so happy to have found you and Charles Dowding the "no dig" gardener from England. When friends mention all the crazy shows they are binge watching during these quarantine days I am so happy to have found you. Thanks again.

[@katyd4183]

I loved watching this video. I cannot wait to try this. I'm in California and lots of raw in this little town, so I'll try it with raw cows milk. Hugs.

[@toysintheclosetshop5443]

I've been wanting to make cheese and I'm thrilled to see that YOU have a video. I always enjoy what you do and I'll be buying some rennet on line tonight!

[@karaoketime2665]

Love this! Will have my son make this this week for homeschool culinary class hehe Can't wait! Thanks for all the videos wish i had time to sit down and watch from video one until now but keep watching new ones when i see them :)

[@michelesither9898]

well that was super cool. You are my food superhero these days. Looks so good.

[@Miss449686]

Thank you for taking the time to show us that you can make this cheese with cows milk from grocery store. I now have the confidence to try it.

[@traysalumbert1006]

This lady is awesome i love her. I just recently started my own garden and have been getting some helpful hints from your videos. You have inspired me to do more in my garden. Thank you so much

[@enisag6867]

Hi Jessica, I love your videos. I made mozzarella today from goat milk, I got 9.8 oz its perfect mozzarella cheese easy to make I love the recipe. And my family love the cheese. I never made any kind of cheese in my life.

[@apreju7298]

Thank you for the comparison!

[@heartstonecampground1081]

Thank you for making both kinds!

[@kcmgfarm2389]

Thanks Jess for doing the whole milk afterwards, really appreciate it.

[@barbaragood6]

Thank you Jess

[@BeccaNolte]

This is so awesome to see. Thanks for doing the comparison.

[@kateymateymusic1]

Thankyou for the comparison. Raw milk is banned in Australia (for human consumption)- unless you own milking animals. So all our milk is pasteurised. It will be good to give this a try

[@BekWeller]

We get it from the organic market place for “milk baths” 😉

[@susanturner9023]

OMG JESS I WENT BACK TO WATCH AGAIN TO MAKE THE CHEESE I SAW IN ORIGINAL RELEASE AND 6Years later…..I’m getting to it 😂👍

[@jasminefrench1223]

Jess you are such an inspiration. I really miss living on acreage (did the usual move to the city for $$) Hoping my husband and I can buy property with a little land soon! I really love your down to earth nature. & your gardening tips are the best. Built myself a little planter so hopefully I can grow some tomatoes here in Sydney whilst we save for our property :) I honestly don't know how you manage to do all the things you fit into your day whilst looking after your family but hopefully I can get there some day!!!

[@seedyhollow]

Great thank you will be including in my Waste Not Want Not Book! I can't wait to try this myself! My hubby and I watch your videos daily I grew up a beef farmer's daughter and him an ocean fisherman lol we have been homesteading and soon hobby farming animals again. Thanks from Hymers Ontario, Canada!!

[@seedyhollow]

happy to report it was delicious and turned out well with the pasterrized cows milk from the store. They are really crazy about no raw milk here in Canada! We grew up on it on the farm and we all survived lol!

[@lynnhowdeshell2641]

Thank you for doing this for us. I do not have a microwave so I do not know what to do about that. So you know I had never heard about the ice cube in the pan and milk will not scorch. I have scorched a lot of milk. Have a great day. All the best to you.

[@marypenza7446]

Just the video I was looking for! Thanks Jess!

[@onfireforjesus8374]

Wow, I didn't know you could do that with store bought milk! Thank you for doing that. It's good to know different things like that.

[@danielledyck9118]

You have answered all my questions! It’s illegal for farmers to sell farm milk her in Manitoba Canada. So it’s next to impossible to get unpasteurized milk. I will try store bought milk! Thank you again.

[@katherinebelk8398]

GIRL! We live in our house too! Definitely not a show house, we always have something stacked on our table, counters or in our sinks!

[@bellehollins]

I just successfully made cheese! Thank you! I did it with pasteurized cow’s milk because that’s what I have access to. It turned out beautifully and it’s taking so much self-control to not gobble the whole thing up right now. 😋

[@kristinefarley]

Thank you. I'm going to make some this afternoon for dinner :)

[@charlottewillis9252]

I have never wanted to make cheese but after seeing this video I just might! Thanks for sharing with us.

Thank you for this recipe! Can you also share a video about that chicken parm recipe that you talked about in this video? That sounds absolutely yummy! Or, you could just make a cook book😃😃!

[@paulasfashionsanddesigns2977]

Hi Jess, you are never going to believe how you helped me. I had made a batch using regular milk and it turned out like cottage cheese before I got it right with trying again with RAW COW MILK. But here is my news, I hadn't tossed out the cottage cheese effort yet, so I thought I would try, the microwaving it for 30 second intervals and see if I would get the elasticity that you got and salvage my effort. Whallah!! It worked!!! Like you said, not as much stretch, but enough to make a bunch of cheese balls that taste great! The microwave fixed the crumbling (no stretch) initial texture. Ty😊

[@letsbehonest01]

Great video. I think I will give this a try with whole milk. I don't have any goats. Your dinner menu sounds yummy!

[@muchlovetoall7966]

Thank you for trying it with store bought milk. I definitely want to try this. I can buy milk for under 1.99. A pound of mozzarella is over 5.00 a pound. And we love cheese.

[@rmcrms5]

I've never even thought about making my own cheese. This looks like something that would be fun to try. Thank you for showing both methods.

[@RAYOFSONLITE]

Thank you so much. No way here in Hamilton Ontario, for me to buy raw goat's milk so now I feel free to try store bought paadturized milk. Love your cheery face and honesty.

[@trollforge]

Shirley Wright it isn't too hard to get raw milk, but you have to get to know someone, who raises goats, to the point where they trust you. Start making friends at the farmers market. I haven't been to Hamilton in many years, but there used to be a big market.

[@GrownToCook]

A great tutorial! I love that you also tested storebought cow's milk as more people have access to that!

[@HadleyHowie]

My mum and I made some mozzarella cheese a few years back, my niece was fascinated by it and LOVE IT! She kept taking little pieces and eating it as we were stretching it out! Thank you for this video!

[@taniajockwer7503]

Thank you for your video. I tried it with raw sheeps milk and it was a bit of a fail. The % of fat in sheeps milk is higher than cows milk so I'm going to experiment a little to see if it gets better. Maybe it needs a little more or little less rennet or maybe I need to skim the cream off the top a little to reduce the fat content. Your information has been so useful.

[@kris8584]

I am so trying this with regular milk! Thanks!

[@Hannahcode1]

[@VagabondAnne]

Lovely to see this. My first job out of High School was making mozzarella (cow's milk). The facility I worked at bought milk raw, pasteurized it on site, though it was NOT homogenized, which I think makes a difference.

[@VagabondAnne]

With the "waste" whey, is that we used citric acid, or even lemon juice, to make Ricotta as a "waste" product.
