20 Fromage Blanc

Makes 12 cups.

Ingredients

• 1 gallon whole milk
• 1 packet direct-set Fromage Blanc Starter Culture

Steps

1. Warm the mil to 72°F
2. Stir in the starter culture
3. Cover and allow to set (incubate) for 12 to 15 hours, or until a solid white curd forms.
4. Drain the curd for at least 3, and up co, 6 hours under refrigeration in a cheesecloth-lined colander or a cheesecloth or muslin bag sec over a bowl.
5. The cheese is now ready to use, or transfer to a storage container and hold, covered, under refrigeration for up to 1 week.

Shorter draining time makes a spreadable consistency, while longer draining makes a cream cheese-like consistency.
