Once ready, blend the cream on medium speed for up to 2 minutes until all the butter separates at the top. Carefully scoop out as much of this cream without dipping into the milk below and leave the cream in a covered container until it reaches room temperature (depending on how cold it is, it can take up 4 to 6 hours). If you allow raw milk to sit in the refrigerator for 2 days, the cream should rise to the top. If you are interested in making Cheddar cheese at home, I highly recommend the Hard Cheese Kit, as it contains most things you need to make this cheese. I recommend that this Cheddar Cheese is aged for 6 months or more for a sharper flavour. I have tasted this cheese at 3 months and it is quite mild. Don’t forget to turn weekly, to allow for even distribution of the fats and flavour. Ripen in a humid cheese fridge at 10-12✬ (50-54✯) at 80-85% humidity.

Line a 165 mm cheese mould with cheesecloth and fill with the curds.Using your pot as a container, break each finger in half and then toss the salt through the curds.Cut the curd into 5 by 1.25 cm (2 by ½ inch) fingers.Drain the two slabs through cheesecloth lined colander, then place the slabs onto a chopping board.That’s 45 minutes cheddaring time in total. After 1o minutes, turn each slab over.Cut the slab in half and cover pot and allow curds to stand for 10 minutes.Return the curd slab back to the pot for cheddaring, place pot back into the double boiler to keep the curd slab at 39☌ (102☏). Drain curds and whey through cheesecloth lined colander.Let the curds rest for 40 minutes maintaining the temp at 39☌ (102☏) .

Once the target temperature is reached, turn off the heat.This slow process allows more whey to be expelled and avoids bitterness in the fully aged cheese. Return to a low heat and gradually raise the temp to 39☌ (102☏), stirring gently and continuously, during the period of 45 minutes.Rest for 5 minutes to allow curds to heal.Check for a clean break and cut the curds into 1.25 cm (½ inch) cubes.If necessary, leave for another 10 minutes then check again. Add the rennet solution to the milk and mix thoroughly using the same up and down motion for no more than 2 minutes.Add the Calcium Chloride solution and mix well.Cover and allow to rest for 40 minutes at the target temperature. Stir thoroughly in an up and down motion without breaking the surface of the milk. Sprinkle culture over the surface of the milk and allow to rehydrate for 5 minutes.Warm your milk to 31☌ (88☏), stirring gently whilst bringing up to temperature.Butter, Lard or Coconut oil for banding.2.5 ml (½tsp) Liquid Rennet in ¼ cup water.2.5 ml (½ tsp) Calcium Chloride in ¼ cup water.1/8th Teaspoon (Dash) Mesophilic Culture MO30.
