Can you share the exact recipie you follow to make the cheese? It looks very straightforward based on your pictures.

Thanks

Good for you Christo...I replied to your PM with the recipe for not only mozzarella but ricotta made with the left over whey. I would also reccomend the book Home made cheese making recipes for 75 homemade cheeses by Ricki Carrol - the woman you ordered the cheese making supplies from. Its the homemade cheese bible!!

GOOD LUCK...let us know how you did!!

My mother (italian) has been making fresh mozz since i was a kid.. we also can our own tomato's as well, makes for a much better sauce, There is nothing like it. the only problem is when you go to a restaurant and get the fresh mozz salad it generally doesnt compare. It's really not that hard if you can find the curd, many restaurant suppliers sell it and i get it now from a friend that owns a pizzeria. Good luck and enjoy
