    Who wants some fresh, creamy, and very easy to make Goat Cheese!! Be sure to check out the recipe in the description box..
  • I make farmers cheese all the time. One of my rescue goats has had a false pregnancy every year for the past 4 years. I got 2 litres from her today. I gotta try this cheese. For the farmers cheese, I heat the milk to where it’s about to boil, then add lemon juice. I drain it for 20 minutes & then salt it. My favourite is to add some fresh garlic & scallions
  • @jenniferlynne10
    Just finished a batch of chevre using your recipe/method it came out beautifully... I made 4.5 oz tubs some herbed with dill weed, some crusted in everythng seasoning some blueberry lemon thyme and some plain...My friends are in for a BIG treat!! THANK YOU...
  • What I like about your video is that it's a visual tutorial to go with the recipe that I use and which is almost exactly the same. Thank you so much!
  • @Myrkskog
    This is my favourite cheese. It never occurred to me to make it at home - and it looks so simple! Man, this is definitely going on the list!
  • Thank you for this great, clear video. I just followed the instructions with 12 liters of fresh goat milk. I can"t wait to taste it! I usually make Alpine cheese, following the recipe we have used since we came here from Switzerland but my cheese cellar, aka garage is full!
  • I made this with my goats milk and it was delicious, no overly goaty flavor. I’m getting ready to try this same recipe with my cow milk
  • Great job Eric! I love goat cheese and this recipe looks like something I can make. Thanks for sharing buddy. 👍
  • @sherouet
    I loved the video thank you 🙏
  • @vaazig
    Amazing. I'll make it with za'atar next time I make goat's cheese.
  • Could this be made if the room temperature is 80 degrees approximately?
  • If I wanted to make honey goatsmilk cheese when can I add the honey? Is that at the end too? Or does it get incorporated in. Do I omit the salt? Love your video. So excited to try
  • @swapzeroe6541
    After 12 hr, I observed bubbles on the surface. Is that normal? The temperature of the room is 25-30 C. Is it because of the higher temperature? Also I didn’t use an airtight container but just covered the container with a lid. Could this play a role as well?
  • @cachi-7878
    Eric, the way you described your final cheese, is not the kind I like. Goat cheese is my favorite cheese but I like it hard and full flavored. The Spanish Caña de Cabra or the French Le Bucherondin are examples of goat cheeses I love. Can I achieve this style of cheese by just letting it dry out for much longer? If you’re not familiar with the two cheeses I mentioned, they have the white fungus all over the outside and they will form a crust if left for a few weeks in the refrigerator. They can be cut with a steel cable or knife and they are solid inside with no porosity whatsoever. Thanks.
