Chevre

Heat the milk to 86-degrees in a stainless-steel or glass pot. Add the direct-set chevre starter and stir. Set the pot aside, covered, for twelve hours. It’s a nice thing to do at night–the curds are ready for you the next morning! Using a slotted utensil, remove the curds from the pot. Transfer the curds to a bowl lined with butter muslin. Hang and drain the cheese in muslin up to twelve hours, depending on the consistency you want for your outcome, then remove from the muslin. You can store this cheese in a covered container or wrapped in the refrigerator for up to a week. A shorter draining period will give you soft, beautiful, spreadable cheese, similar to a cream cheese, which is perfect for sandwiches and crackers/chips. You can also use it in place of ricotta in recipes like lasagna. You can also make logs and roll them in chopped nuts or herbs and onion. A longer draining time will give you a firmer chevre that will crumble like feta or slice like fresh mozzarella.
