Making Chèvre at Home - Soft Goat Cheese

Chèvre is French for Goat’s cheese i.e. cheeses made out of goat’s milk. They are popular among elderly and children who are more likely to show low tolerance to cow’s milk. Also, goat cheeses are lower in fat, and higher in vitamin A and potassium. They are also white due to the lack of beta carotene in the milk.
This very simple soft goat cheese recipe will delight the palate, with its smooth creaminess and light tang, with a hint of salt. Sometimes, it the simple things that give us the most pleasure.
The starter culture used in this cheese was the Mad Millie Mesophilic MW3; www.littlegreenworkshops.com....
The rennet was Chy-Max plus; www.littlegreenworkshops.com....

[@rubygray7749]

Yes! Pronunciation of "chevre" much improved thankyou! An interesting point, about the whiteness of goat's (and Ayrshire cows') millk. The reason there is no beta carotene in them, is that these animals convert all that yellow-coloured carotene to true Vitamin A, which saves our livers having to do it when we eat these products.

[@GavinWebber]

Indeed. I wasn’t aware of the conversion into Vitamin A. Thanks

I just made haloumi from my own goats milk, and really must try the chevre soon! The only time I ever bought goat cheese, it tasted foul. Fusty, musty, rank and the smell oozed through the pores of my skin for a week. So I was thrilled to discover that cheese from my goats is sweet, creamy and delicious! Fortunately you have provided us with a long list of cheeses to try. I will need to make cheese about twice a week to use up the excess milk.

[@maman2004100]

Hello Gavin, I have a question. I did the first step of the goat cheese, I took 2 Lt of milk, added the mesophilic starter, some calcium chloride and rennet. All looks ok, the whey was separated. I left it for ~36-37 hours before I took it out to the cheese cloth (I was busy) The curd looks ok but when I introduce the ladle with holes it was like gluesy cream. The reason can be the long time the curd was into the whey? Do you think it can be still used? It is now draining into the cheese cloth

If I'm using raw goat's milk do I need to heat the milk? Also, if I want to use kefir instead of mesophilic culture would you have any idea of amount?

[@simsam5169]

Hi Gavin - if I wanted to put the Chevre into molds would I do this before salting and salt individually or salt as you show and put them into molds before putting them in the fridge? Great channel, keep the videos coming!

[@GavinWebber]

+Sim Sam I would salt after the cheese was unmoulded. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement.

[@lancebaker1374]

For cheese that you intend to eat in less than 3 weeks, salt all the curds before molding. For cheese that you intend to age 1-3 months, rub salt onto the outside after molding or soak in brine after molding. Salt will make its way through the cheese slowly if applied to the outside. That won't happen in a couple of weeks. If you taste a cheese after two weeks that was only salted on the outside, it will be unevenly salted. The salt rubbed on the outside inhibits unpleasant mold growth.

[@ChristiDea]

I don't have liquid calcium chloride, mine is in crystals/ granules any idea how much dry calcium chloride should be diluted to make the liquid form?

[@losFondos]

Usually the solutions have a concentration of 30-35 % so dissolve 30 gr of calcium chloride in 70 ml of (non chlorinared) water. Be careful though, upon dissolving, the solution will get quite warm, or even hot. Make sure to add the calcium chloride to the water and not the other way around!

does it make a difference if the cheese hangs versus sitting in a colander to drain? Also, I keep hearing that one should not "splash" while stirring in rennet, culture, etc. Why is that?

[@dannybeale3077]

Gavin, wondering if I want to get this into logs, how do I achieve that result?

[@lancebaker1374]

I bought a small water bottle from a thrift shop for 79 cents. Then cut off the upper half. Drill many holes in it. You need a press or fabricate a weight to press down on a plastic or wooden disc that you place on top of the cheese.

[@judithknowles1533]

Hello I’m about to make this again but my rennet is different. 140. So 3 drops? Thanks.

[@GavinWebber]

[@sweetfemaleattitude]

I used a cheesecloth that was too porous and when I tried to lift the curds in it, it drained through and ruined the separation of curds and whey. Is this redeemable at all? If I leave it overnight again will they separate again or is it bad to leave it out for longer than is suggested? Thank you!

[@ChristiDea]

I'd pour it all into a tea towel lined colander, place that colander in a larger bowl and then place it in a refrigerator to age and set up. You could place a small plate and weight on it to help press the whey out

I was wondering this as well. Would you just dissolve a quarter of a tablet then use 2 or 3 drops?... I guessing that would work, but I'm a noob

[@MrRiffyriff]

So i tried this with tablets. I dissolved 1/4 of a tablet into 1/4 cup of water and added a few drops of the rennet solution to a tablespoon of water twice (so 2 tablespoons of water, each with a few drops of rennet solution). I did this very precisely by using a teaspoon to scoop up my rennet and dropped a few drops of it into my water tablespoon ( not precise at all!😂 Precision was not involved at all! ) and it turned out beautifully! 😊👍. Good show Gavin! Thanks for all the great vids and tips ❤️

How well does cheese like this, or any other cheese for that matter, store in the long term? That looks like a lot of cheese and I would need to store some for later. Could you freeze it in a deep freeze?

[@lancebaker1374]

No, you cannot freeze cheeze and get a palatable result from thawing. Your best options are to either find friends who will take the excess cheese off your hands or to make less cheese. To age goat cheese, you need either to cover it in ash or to rub the wheels with salt before storing it in the cave.

Gavin Webber Cheers Gavin. Sorry. Wasn't clear, I meant with your recipes in general. As I have the tablets that came with the kit.

[@GavinWebber]

Ah, right then. 2305 IMCU (International Milk Clotting Units) per tablet, one rennet tablet to set 50L of cows milk at 35 C. Therefore each quarter sets 10-12.5 litres of milk. They work perfectly with the harder cheese recipes that use this amount of milk.

[@PatriciaGauci]

Hey Gavin, I tried this recipe with a rennet tablet, and it turned out fantastic! Here is what I did: If 1 rennet tab = 1 teaspoon liquid rennet and 1 teaspoon = 5 millilitres then 1 tablet = 5 millilitres. Two drops of rennet (used in the recipe) = 0.1 millilitre which is the same as 0.02 teaspoon. Note that 1 smidgen (which is one of those teensy little measuring spoons you have available for sale) is universally acknowledged to = 0.03 teaspoon. So 0.02 teaspoon = 2/3 of a smidgen. I took a quarter of a rennet tablet, crushed it with a pestle, and eyeball-measured 2/3 of a smidgen for this recipe. Worked perfectly -- gorgeous chèvre!

[@cliffordsimpson3349]

Hi Gavin ,can I make Chevre without a starter culture ? Just using calcium chloride ,citric acid and rennet?

[@GavinWebber]

I don't think it would work because this cheese is lactic set. It would work if you have raw milk as that would acidify by itself without the cultures. Don't use any citric acid or it will make the cheese grainy and gritty.

After about 20 hours the whey had separated from the curd and it smelled good. It curd was at the level of the whey. The curd was lightly firm, tender and creamy yet it had many air holes. Soooo I know that's not correct. And I think it must be bacterial. But no yeasty smell. It is straining now. As it sits the aroma gets better and better. Like a creamy great goat cheese. I'm at a loss. 😓 I think I need to toss because of the air holes.

[@bryonygrealish6663]

Is it possible to over culture and get the air holes? I looked back at my mesophilic culture. The 1/4 tsp pkg says it cultures 2 gallons of milk. I used 1 gallons of goats milk. I followed the recipe I have that says 1/4 tsp to 1 gallon of milk.

Thanks for the recipe. You've put 2 saches of mesophillic culture. The manufacturer of this particular culture says to put 1 sache per 4 litres of milk. You've doubled the amount.

This is an almost 100% mistake among English speakers, like "Latte" means coffee. NO!!! Latte means milk. Café latte means coffee with milk. In Spanish, queso does NOT mean cheese sauce. It means cheese. Salsa de queso means cheese sauce.

We also say "le chèvre" for goat cheese but notice the masculine article.

It always makes me laugh a little when someone orders queso cheese!

It actually means both Lance, and Gavin is correct here. Source: I am French, and a long time cheese lover. We use “chèvre” interchangeably for the animal or it’s products. As in “voulez-vous un peu de chèvre ?” (“Would you like a bit of goat [cheese]?”) where cheese is implied based on the context,and doesn’t need to be specified. If we were eating the animal, and asking if you want a little more of it, the context would also apply and change the meaning. So, in Gavin’s context, this is perfectly fine and proper usage. As a matter of facts, we freely use the main adjective to refer to its subject for a lot of things, as a simplification of an already complex language.
