My Sister, The Cheesemaker! | Cheese-making from Cows Milk 🐮

[@LR-xx5ig]

Tell your sister great job. I would like to see more of her making cheese in the future.

[@georgekorth6443]

I love your videos they're so informative and to explain everything so well and I can see how much you love your life would like to see more of your mother. 👋👋👍

[@wayneinnc5379]

That was very cool 😎!

[@chrisforsberg7328]

Hi Nadine and Mirjam, well this is a surprise and a good one for your family. You produce plenty of milk and why not make cheese from some of it. Another family member (with help from mom) venturing out into another side area off the farm. Good luck to your sister in a rewarding enterprise's of making cheese. its really good to see your family working together as a team in all areas of your dairy farm. Chris from Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺.

[@karlmurphy7097]

Very very ,very interesting thank you

[@janetlutter9925]

Looks yummy

[@fayepotts3279]

So, that’s what she was doing in Holland for so long. She was in cheese school! Love Dutch cheese. Yummy!! Let us know when she puts it on the market.

[@davidkimmel5153]

Very exciting. Thanks

[@LaurieBednar]

Nice video. Would love to see the waxing process and to learn more. Your family's work ethic is remarkable.

[@dennislamers986]

I'm thinking there dipped.

[@dennislamers986]

I worked 10 years at a cheese factory in Holland town Wisconsin. It's been a minute since I've seen cheese but we called it a curd knife. We used a screen on the whole bottom of the table. We would completely drain the whey and add salt. This was Edam or Gouda cheese. After stirring We "hooked it up in either 5 lb "loaves" or 10 lb "jumbos" that looked identical to your hoops . They then went on carts and put in a cooler. The next day they wax coated them. We made about 1000 lb batches. We also made hickey pucks but that a whole nother story. That brought back so many memories but that was 20 years ago.

[@brigitteeissa5675]

Omg .. I love you and your family so much .. I started watching Jan about 2 years ago and now you.. You are both absolutely amazing in your description of what you’re doing on the farm or ranch.. I love your cows.. they are so comical and I think they love being videod.. they make me laugh.. thank you .. see you next video.. ❤❤

[@ADairyonthePrairie]

Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoy the videos!

[@richardyerton7904]

There is a small cheese factory/store in West Jefferson, North Carolina, that has discovered that the whey they drain off still contains enough butterfat to make a significant amount of butter. Maybe add butter making when you get the cheese process worked out.

[@wannabewoodsmith4217]

1:30 Jan has been saying for years how good Miriam is at cutting the cheese

[@brigitteeissa5675]

To funny

[@TheStuport]

Very cool of you Neline to show what Mirjam is up to in her quest to be The Big Cheese! Awesome too for your Mom to be able to be with her daughters at the same time! I would have loved to have heard some of the dialog between you all and heard some of the laughing that went on as well! You Mom commenting on the fact that The Rookie has to do the clean up was hilarious! 🤣 Thank you for feeling comfortable enough to share this adventure with your Fan Base and Thank you to Mirjam and your Mom for allowing us to see a fun side to your Family. Pretty sure Dad and Jan will be in the video where The Taste Testing is done!😂Cheers From COW-lumbus, Ohio MOO 👋

[@rypkepaulusma]

You're so right. By the way, the name is Neline...

[@TheStuport]

@@rypkepaulusma D'OH...don't know what I was thinking. Appreciate you pointing out my knuckleheaded mistake! And thanks for being Classy about it as well! Cheers👋

[@mienafriggstad3360]

😮😋

[@janetstewart6977]

That was very interesting Nadine! Tell Mirjam to keep us updated on her progress into making her cheese. ❤️

[@wilycat5290]

Thank you so much for this interesting cheese-making video. Everyone looks so happy 😊

[@mlieser1230]

Great video! Congrats to Mirjam and Mom. Your voice over was excellent Neline! Looking forward to more cheese making videos.

[@marijkebooij2590]

So cool to see this! Mirjam is indeed a talented cheese maker, we enjoyed here internship here in Holland. Good luck with the cheese business, hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

[@Don-pq5gg]

Super! Nice smiles throughout says it all.

[@carolannes7100]

Totally enjoyed thus video. Yes I would love to watch more of the cheese videos

[@marymaguire3503]

Enjoyed the video so much, Mom and Miriam look so happy at their work, i come across a video yesterday Neline about a Goat farmer in the UK milking 1,000 Goats by milking machine

[@michaelvieira5665]

Wonderful. Would like to see more. Thanks for sharing!

[@zaimhakim8250]

Your video content is great.

[@railfan439]

Remember the nursery rhyme - Little Miss Muffet, sat on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey. Well, children, there's the curds and whey. She was eating cottage cheese. After most of the whey is removed, the curds are pressed to remove the last of it. Then the process continues, and it becomes Jack, Stilton, Cheddar, Gouda, "Blas Kaas" (Sap Sago) or ... well, you name it. Salt is also added at some point. BUT if the milk maid is making cottage cheese, not all the whey is removed. Did that on my uncle's dairy farm in Ohio, in 1952, when I was seven. Thanks for the memories, and the video. Jon Van Veldthuijzen

[@chrisgilbert2152]

THE THOUGHT OF HAVING CHEESE FROM THOSE THAT DO EVERY STAGE IS AMZING!

[@USAReferee]

You and all of your family are so talented and hard working. You are all a pleasure to follow to the extent that we can. Just wanted you to know. Thank you for all that you do. Please pass our respects on to Mirjam.

[@randymcguire9130]

Wonderful video loved it

[@patriciamuskevitsch8359]

Very interesting! I was surprised at how many rounds were produced by the amount of milk used.

[@nancykirk9735]

Great job, I look forward to seeing all of your progress. You're all a wonderful family to watch.

[@dearthworm]

Blessed are the Cheesemakers!

[@johnmollet2637]

Cool video, thanks to you and your sister. Have a great day!

[@richardwilliams5659]

Love watching your family’s journey in farming. Your new adventure with goats is cool to see. Haven’t seen your brother in a while is he done making videos.

[@ADairyonthePrairie]

Thank you! And Jan isn’t done he’s just on a “break” and didn’t let anyone know 🤷‍♀️.

[@JL-od3ik]

That was fun to watch!

[@Ticky66MN]

That is really cool that she is doing that. Thank you for sharing.

[@judycarlsen7707]

Fascinating! I am a cheese lover! Way to go Mirjam! Thanks for sharing this Neline.

[@jackielott7309]

Loved it ladies.

[@asquithmainlines699]

I have always had an interest in cheese making, watched a lot of Gavin Webbers’s videos. Her finished product looked superb and the smile on your Mom’s face said it all. Great job.

[@tenneyconstruction7323]

very cool, glad to see the family expanding to each endeavors

[@Classifiedreality]

Darn, wanted to see the waxing.....thank you for taking us along....🙏🙏🙏👨‍🌾🚜👨‍🌾😍

[@rogerschlitter5116]

I worked during the summer in a cheese factory in Northeast Iowa in the 1960’s. Everyone in our neighborhood milked 30 to 45 cows and we had a creamery right in the middle of our township. Same thing you are doing only on a larger back breaking scale. We kept concentrating the cottage cheese size pieces into slabs and then ran them through a stainless steel shredder which produced cheese curds. My mouth waters when I think of the hundreds of pounds of fresh cheese curds we had access to everyday. Some of the nearby farmers would stop in to “visit” and eat fresh cheese curds. Our raw curds were packed in 280# barrels and picked up weekly by Kraft Foods for further processing. The creamery is long closed and there less than a handful of dairy herds in the township. One small organic Jersey herd and two multi hundred cow herds. For perspective, there were six dairy herds on our one mile of road in the 1960’s.

[@shirleysousa1133]

That’s such a cool process.

[@eileenesteves7072]

Loved the cheese making. I wish I could eat it right now.♥️🇵🇹

[@kellwood1404]

It was mesmerizing. Thanks for posting and thanks to Mirjam and your Mom.

[@colinkulasik1128]

Looks good! Looks like you need to make a cedar board to create a table for filling the cheese molds. And don't forget to make ricotta cheese from the whey!

[@annm7153]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing and I hope you feel better soon

[@steffc8881]

This was absolutely fantastic and incredibly interesting thank your sister for sharing her process with us🤩🤩🤩🤩 Thank you for sharing your time and family with us🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@engelkep504]

Every (ex) dutch inhabitant knows how to make cheese, and with a big dairyfarm, it makes sense to make cheese, adding value to milk. Hoop in the near future I can buy your cheese :D

[@mikewood3203]

Butcher, Baker, candle stick maker that's how a community survives. The first step of the journey.

[@thomasmccardle725]

I love all your videos Neline, especially the ones with family! And the goats 😂

[@dhansonranch]

That was unexpected as I thought cheese making in kitchen...definitely not at this scale. Very interesting as all my cheese making classes have certainly not been at this scale. I see a future of artisan cheeses for your sister coming up. I wish I was closer to get milk..lol. Goat cheese perhaps is in your future! Good video.

[@lorihusband5613]

A very interesting video! Thanks for sharing.

[@dairyfarmmidwest1615]

Congratulaions you did a wonderful job with it all

[@tedbiernacki376]

So that's what happened to my GRILL !!! 😅😅😅 Great music ! Is the gum she's chewing a secret part of the recipe?? 😊

[@Durufle68]

This was great!!

[@cathywithac]

Fascinating. What do you do with the whey? Feed it to the cattle and goats?

[@pjcampbell67]

Y'all are such an amazing and talented family!

[@heathergingrich6170]

Thanks for the wonderful video, I am so impressed with how you and your family work and run your farm and that you each have chosen for now the paths you wish to pursue. I am looking forward to seeing more of yours and your family's growth ❤

[@timbounds9021]

Wow! Thanks for another great video! LOVED the cheese making process. Please share more as soon as you can.

[@Kevin986_]

so satisfying to watch tbh

[@williamsnow1531]

Wow…I’m impressed!

[@frasermathers2287]

Nadine, way back in my younger years, I used to teach UK tour guides and coach drivers on touring around the Netherlands. I can tell your viewers (I know you are already aware of this) that of all the cheese that I have eaten over the years, (and yes I come from a farming background too) Dutch cheese is way ahead in flavour and texture, and once you have eaten it, you wont want anything else. Good luck to your sister in her new venture. Thanks for Scotland

[@GlendaVrolijk]

Dank U wel Neline en Miriam,success met de kaas industrie, Jonge kaas,oude kaas,belegen kaas, allemaal zijn heel lekker🧀🧀🧀😋😋groetjes van Aruba 🇦🇼 🇳🇱 🇨🇦 🍁

[@rypkepaulusma]

It's so nice of you to show many aspects of farming. This is exactly what we used to do at home, back in the day. I remember 'Rivella' being brought along when the empty milk cans came back from the factory. What do you do with the whey, is it all sold or do you use some at the farm, for feeding calves etc.? Great video!!!!

[@lindakowalski7747]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!❤

[@janrobinson328]

Great video!! Looks like a lot of cheese!! Good luck !!

[@christinekeleher3578]

Oh I’m so excited to see these videos. Not interested in knowing her recipe (s) but love to watch the making. I would for sure buy some here in Ontario. Thx for sharing

[@giles-df9yu]

That was great, you and sis and mom did excellent. 👍

[@robertmarino2158]

[@andrewwilliston5798]

I love the introduction, made me think of Star Wars. The cheese stuff is neet too.

[@ADairyonthePrairie]

Too funny! I didn’t realize as I’ve never seen Star Wars 😂

[@laurent.1548]

This is so cool! Thank u for sharing

[@dougdiplacido2406]

This video was fun and relaxing to watch and it made me hungry for cheese. Have not seen Jan in awhile. Is he ok? Thanks for a great video.

[@JohnKAustralia]

What has happened to Jan I really enjoy watching both your videos

[@tomzweifel7060]

I really enjoyed , your family has many talents ! From a state is well-known for cheese 🧀 Wisconsin USA 🇺🇸. My grandparents worked in cheese factory in early 1900s.

[@maryrose6244]

I grew up in Wisconsin!! So much fun.

[@robertmarino2158]

[@jimconnor8274]

Well done Ladies!

[@bigredfarmer]

I love your videos and I loved you brothers videos too but he hasn't posted any videos in I think like 2 months now

[@sandy73769]

Great video!

[@Digeroo123]

Well done Mirjam. What sort of cheese? From the Yellow wax can I assume Gouda. I had some really gorgeous Mature Gouda on holiday, so tasty, so different from the plastic stuff from the supermarket. What happens to the whey? Does it go back to the cows? How long does it take for the cheese to mature? How long has she been making cheese? Have you had a taste of it yet? Why do you have a rectangular vat, surely a round one with a mechanical curd cutting paddle would be easier? Sorry so many questions. Thank you Neline for filming this. I hope that Miryam can feel a bit more confident and can feel like giving us some more information. It is nice that she has found a good side business as well.

[@graceveenema4762]

There’s a distillery in Almonte, Ontario using whey to make vodka. It’s called Vodkow. 😉

[@doskraut]

Making cheese with raw milk is so much better, you can taste the difference and depending on what the cows eat gives different taste to cheese.

[@karenfaber7049]

Great job! Super excited for Mirjam! Is it cheddar or gouda? 😋 i would order it for sure!

[@mikekjellman]

great job with the voiceover!

[@malakidalica3400]

nice job Mirjam

[@taylerwagner5776]

That is amazing that your sister is going into the cheese making. Will your sister do her own KZbin videos?

[@patricksmith3135]

Neline, this was great! Has Mirjam (or you) thought of Goat's Cheese? Its very delicious too. Best of luck in this new venture; I can't wait to see it play on.

[@gordiesullivan3289]

Very interesting video

[@damondavis1866]

Thank you it looks good

[@juicefa9642]

Nice video! I have one question. Where is your brother Jan? Its been a while he dropped a video. Greatz

[@smoky7acres471]

Wondering the same thing

[@davidfleer5307]

Brings back memories when mom would make cheese most times it was cottage cheese and sometimes she would make butter and my gosh it was good ✌🏻👍🇺🇸

[@MatthewLawton-t5f]

After making the cheese will you feed the wey back to the cows. I have heard of other dairy farms letting there cows drink they wey.

[@Fem1989]

Leuke video! Hopelijk kan ze hier haar werk van maken! Groetjes van een Nederlandse melkveehoudster

[@danhei]

Do you use paraffin wax or bees wax when coating the cheese? Great video. Cheers from regina

[@butchkowarsch9133]

When will there be any goat cheese?

[@ileenmcminn2062]

How long is she going to age them? So when will we see the finished product? What did you do with the whey? It is an excellent feed for cattle and hogs.

[@theirishman8356]

They look yummy already. 🧀

[@lorissahiebert8868]

Where did you buy those screened bowls to drain the whey off the cheese?

[@michaelleinen8024]

Awesome!

[@ronzimmerman8968]

Very interesting!
