How to make Belper Knolle

[@ronnie8984]

You have no idea how cool you are. It’s so amazing that you have such a rich and well informed hobby that you teach other people about it

[@GavinWebber]

Thank you Ronnie

[@darlal2698]

I agree. I am now a obsessed "curd nerd" His tutorials are the only ones that I attempt to try. I'm hooked. I've made 9 cheeses since July 10th..

[@derskandaloseherrbaron2801]

As a Swiss I must say, this is awesome! It's so cool to see someone from the other side of the globe making and enjoying Swiss cheese. ❤

[@ginabisaillon2894]

I made a similar cheese, the main difference being the culture (I used MW038A) and I'm using it just as a spreadable cheese as is - no garlic, no pepper, nothing - and it is fantastically tangy. I love it!

[@primozblatnik316]

Found you via a tweet, after watching some videos I now want to make cheese. Thank you for the help and amazing content.

[@tiko4621]

Same same. The mans a legend and probably doesn’t even realize haha.

[@rbless84]

Gavin, I haven't been watching the channel so that I could come back and binge new vids. This video format is new to me and i LOVE that youve combined making the cheese WITH the tasting at the end. So awesome! Love the new intro too. Thanks for all the great vids!

[@GavinWebber]

Welcome back!

[@willybones3890]

Really great cheesemakers channel. Glad I found you!

[@GavinWebber]

Welcome!

[@skrewrgodproten4807]

I love your intro it is the best thing this mortal plain has to offer

[@yuhikochan1952]

Just found this video! Great stuff Gavin! Not sure if anyone has said this yet. But your ability to distinguish and describe the individual ingredients in the final product is amazing and very helpful! Thank you so much, looking forward to future videos.

[@GavinWebber]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Blxz]

I have this on my shortlist. Glad to see you have made it so now I can see the steps in action.

[@buffalosims5213]

Just made a batch, looking forward to trying it in a few weeks, should go well with a pint 🍺

[@eu4um]

Wonderful vid as always Gav!

[@dianerandall995]

so glad you kept your hands on while washing.....lol. you make everything looks so easy and i watch frequently and one day i will try this and other recipes....thanks millions for the recipes and the humour.

[@cheesehistory]

I love cream cheese so I am going to have to try this one. It looks so interesting.

[@trym7610]

This looks amazing, love your work, keep the videos flowing my friend!

[@MrVinnyboombottz]

I made this cheese just this Christmas past and It was marvelous. I used goats milk and tri-color peppercorns (toasted). I stored one in the normal fridge and just used half yesterday grated on Pasta Puttanesca, and it is if it were made for this dish. So after 5 months it was still wonderful.

[@soulbrother1143]

The one you stored in the normal fridge, how did you use it.. Did you dry it and then store it or did it keep it fresh and you used like a cream cheese??

[@dwaynewladyka577]

That is a superb looking cheese. Cheers, Gavin!

[@adamlee3772]

That looks like a wonderful cheese.

[@VillPom]

The spray bottle you normally use for disinfecting, is it pure white vinegar or do you dilute it with water at all?

[@GavinWebber]

Plain white vinegar, undiluted.

[@vaazig]

Some stupid people would use a spray bottle with metal parts and they'd rust like nobody's business. Not me. It was a friend of a friend. 😅 (Make sure everything in the mechanism is plastic)

[@diegocobena3485]

great work, mr. webber!!

[@thePods]

Hi Gavin, if I wanted to leave out the garlic, how much salt would I then add? Thank you.

[@GavinWebber]

the same

[@chasemakino1199]

This man is awesome!

[@kenwhibley2493]

Hi Gavin from the UK, i ‘ve just watched the two Bella Knoll video. Should you want to make this cheese without the high heat try using white peppercorn and only lightly roasting. I,m sure it would be milder.

[@vaazig]

Looks so good.

[@GavinWebber]

Thank you 😋

[@Ola-k4j2c]

Обожаю этот сыр👍

[@mwakelin]

This is a great cheese, one of the first I made. The flavour improved dramatically over about 3 months, to the point where friends didn’t think it was the same cheese. It’s well worth keeping longer. Please do another taste test in a couple of months.

[@GavinWebber]

I certainly will. I have a taste test scheduled for 6 weeks of age.

[@mwakelin]

@@GavinWebber thanks Gavin, I’ll look forward to that!

[@captnjack5637]

why Himalayan salt does it really make a difference from regular cheese salt?

[@Valandar2]

"Halfway between the size of a golf ball and a tennis ball" ... So about the size of a pool / snooker ball?

[@tommihommi1]

The K at the start and e at the end aren't silent :)

[@kamo7293]

what are the uses for the whey?

[@GavinWebber]

As this is a lactic set cheese, the whey is very acidic. Can't make ricotta out of it, and too tart to drink.

[@mooreiverson8343]

Hi Gavin. It is possible to make Mongolian cheese cured or fermented milk (mare) ? Because I want to know it.

[@erikasteyn5167]

Hi please can u give me the name of the book u used in one of the shows please thanks Erika

[@belzebubsterben9788]

I came from the Parmesan video and now I never leave

[@echidnaplaceadventures4073]

Thank you for this recipe, it is wonderful, i made it this week. I don’t think i can age it as it keeps disappearing. Each time i go to turn it another ball has gone😂.

[@GavinWebber]

Great job!

[@zimmerleeats800]

Hey Gavin! Love your videos and I’m trying this one for the first time. I have a question. Do I need to leave the curds at temp for the 12 to 18 hours after adding the rennet?

[@Funpants94]

Did this have any small eye development from the Flora Danica?

[@GavinWebber]

None that I remember

[@nailarae3633]

Whats the best cheese combo for mac and cheese

[@soulbrother1143]

I finished this recipe today and my cheese is drying. The question I have is can I vacuum pac this cheese after it hardens or will it crush the ball? I'm asking because I watched both your taste tests for this cheese and the 2nd had blue and white molds on it..if I can I'd like to keep that off if possible for better cheese board looks

[@heidisnow]

I didn't have any trouble with mine once it was dry. In fact, I still have some vacuum sealed from a couple years ago. But, mine was dried on the counter, not the fridge. And, I followed recommendations from another recipe where after hanging 12 hours, salt and rehang another 12 hours to expel more whey. So, mine was more dry than Gavin's in this video.

[@soulbrother1143]

@annoyingfan thank you for the advice..mine are drying right now and are still very wet

[@floravola]

Wouldn't putting fresh garlic make the cheese go bad eventually? Also how do you sanitize your wooden mats?

[@GavinWebber]

It hasn't so far. I boil the mats

[@BrianKelsay]

Is your "whole milk full cream" similar to American "whole milk, vitamin D" or would I need to add cream?

[@snocoldman]

Now that's a cheese with some clickbait appeal. I approve.

[@MrVinnyboombottz]

Do you have a video for Dunlop Cheese? Or would it be similar to something you have already made?

[@takochikhradze4555]

Mr. Webber can you tell us how do you keep up with so many cheese, do yo have some sort of journal where you log when must be turned or washed certain cheese?

[@GavinWebber]

Calendar appointments with myself to remind me what to do when

[@Bushrookie820]

What’s the smell like during this whole process ?

[@DavidNorthMusic]

I’m watching this on a train. I imagine it’s not too far off what I’m smelling right now.

[@soulbrother1143]

It's actually creamy smelling for the 1st 12 hrs of hang drying, then it starts to smell like cream cheese.. a creamy acidic milky smell..hope that helps

[@projectamis4772]

I'd try this. It'd spread it on rye bread and put a little bit of rose jam on it.

[@dorianbailey7314]

Rose jam is a thing??? :0

[@projectamis4772]

@@dorianbailey7314 It is heavenly, especially if it has minty spices and combined with Nutella.

[@Noobie163]

Would you consider making Stinking Bishop? Apparently it's the stinkiest cheese made in the UK

[@ckblissed7701]

I tried to make this yesterday as a double batch... It turned into a huge floating bubbly mound of sponge over night, rather than a creamy mass that sinks in the whey. Did I add too much rennet or is my room temp not right (I added 1/4 tsp and we're usually around 18°c)? Please help Mr. Gavin, I am using fresh raw milk from our cow and have made many other cheeses such as cheddar, farmhouse, cheshire, queso fresco, ricotta, and my own accidental boursin from yogurt whey. Thank you kindly, Jess

[@GavinWebber]

Sounds like a coliform infection. I would not eat it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ7Hia2met2IrNE

[@ckblissed7701]

@@GavinWebber Thank you kindly, I will give it to the pigs. She tested clean for coliforms this morning. We have a test kit that we use regularly and it has come up negative each time. I will try again with a smaller batch and use less rennet, let you know how it goes. We have raw milk so we can enjoy all the benefits. I really don't want to pasturize it if it's good clean milk.

[@ckblissed7701]

@@GavinWebber it worked great the second and third time without pasteurization. May have been way too much rennet and the fluctuations in room temperature, I don't know? The third batch I used a half cup of whey from the second batch to culture the third. Turned out great! I also used a blender to grind the garlic with a bit of the cheese before mixing it all together. It tastes lovely. I can't wait until it's ready. Thank you for your great videos! 🙏💛🍻

[@aleenatreesa2575]

I'm from India I really love to give you a visit and purchase a bit of ALL your cheese 😋 Also it might be pretty hard for you to store all your cheese or eat it up don't you..☺️

During the 18 hour set time, was the heat off or on?

[@GavinWebber]

off

@@GavinWebber They look wonderful and my hubby is already negotiating (THINK HOSTAGE SCENE FROM MOVIE) to eat one at just one week of aging rather than waiting the full time.

[@subaru7233]

Really enjoy your videos, Gavin, I'm just a beginner but this seems a good cheese to choose for a first aged cheese. It sounds delicious. You didn't say so I'm assuming the first 12-18hours after the rennet are at room temperature.

[@GavinWebber]

Yes

[@Blxz]

Heya Gavin, I'm nearly finished making my Belper knolle and was wondering if you ended up testing it after 2 weeks as mentioned towards the end of the video. Did it dry up as you expected or should I drain it for a little bit longer?

[@GavinWebber]

Second taste test coming soon. They are quite hard now.

[@SangosEvilTwin]

Maybe a Billiard/Pool ball?

[@ericfoster3636]

Hi Gavin, nice video! Do you maintain the 86 degree temperature over the 18 hour curd set?

Eric waited and waited, but his answer simply never came, his question lost in the void for eternity

Is it heresy if start with store bought cream cheese?

[@GavinWebber]

No, but you won't get the amazing flavour of simple, homemade cream cheese. Store bought cream cheese (I'm looking at you Kraft) is full of additives and thickners.
