Hi Jag, love your videos! Some quick info for those interested or who may not have tried this cheese yet:

This cheese exists in many cultures in the world and has many names, like Paneer, Queso Fresco, and often simply just “Farmer’s Cheese”. Because it is not aged, it is a very mild cheese with a mild soft creamy flavor, and doesn’t have tangy or sharp flavors like aged cheeses such as Cheddar or Parmesan. It is slightly dry compressed cheese with a texture (but not a flavor!) somewhere in between feta and mozzarella, depending on compression time.

As for terminology, the cooked milk solids that remain after the liquid separates are called “curds”, and while they contain fat of course, they also have a good quantity of protein. The remaining liquid is called “whey” and it contains a good bit of protein itself. As others have said in this thread, whey can further be used to make Ricotta cheese, or as a great additive for a protein boosted smoothie, or excellent feed for pigs, chickens or your garden (although it can be acidic so I would be careful about using it with any seedlings).

And while certainly not required, one thing that I think that makes this cheese much better that wasn’t demonstrated in the video is the addition of kosher salt into the drained curds but before compressing (mix in evenly with your hands is fine). The amount of salt will differ to taste of course, but about 2 teaspoons for a gallon of milk (Or maybe 2.5 teaspoons for the gallon and a half shown in the video) would be nice. Kosher salt or other finely ground salt is better than table salt based on the above ratios- If someone only had table salt they would probably want to use much less, maybe one rounded teaspoon and then adjust for taste accordingly.

Thanks for your videos and being an awesome positive person and for teaching me about farming!

Instead of wasting left out cheese water, it can be used for plants as it is full of calcium.🌷🙏🏻

Hi Jag, so Paneer is queso fresco (Spanish for fresh cheese). Queso fresco is used in many Latino dishes. Thank you again for the great informative content.

Don’t throw the liquid away, aka whey, save it for dishes, protein smoothies or even making ricotta cheese. It’s got plenty of beneficial nutrients

[salwaever]

Nice 👍🏻. I really like that you are also sharing some interesting healthy cooking ideas. It’s great combo with gardening. I am learning so much from your video and look forward to your next video. Wishing you good health, success and happiness

[gemenigal]

Love your videos. You make everything look easy and simple. Also another great thing about your videos that you make them short and right to the point. Thank you. I’m glad I found your channel

[LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

This looks delicious! I can't believe it only has 2 ingredients and I am luck to have them both in my house. I'm making this! I am always happy to learn new vegan recipes from talented creators like you. I cook a lot and make cooking videos too so I am always looking for new ideas. I hope we can keep learning from each other! I look forward to learning more recipes from you.

Hello Jag . Thank you for making things so simple

[thebadinfluencer]

I am curious how it tastes. Thanks for the video, very interesting!

[pbeyah]

Just found your site. Following your videos will save me money. Thank you so much!

[lisasharpe]

Add a teaspoon of salt and fresh herbs, mix prior to pressing with the sauce pan. I make this cheese with my raw goats milk.

[biancacraig]

Thanks for the recipe. Just wondering if using cream instead of milk will be a heavier richer cheese?

[blackcoffee]

Interesting! Can you please make the video with Panerr and spinich?

[besottedorchids]

Great way to use up extra milk. I use vinegar. I often use it like a ricotta.

[butchjohnson]

I knew it was easier, but you showed me how easy. I went to a cheese factory in Wisconsin, and they started with 10, 000 pounds of milk. I just can't remember what they used for to separate their cheese, which was a white cheese, because they didn't add the yellow dye. Thank you for sharing your video.

Mmmm. Our local market sells 2 litre bottles of organic milk very cheaply when it has only 2 days before 'best-by' date. So an absolute bargain 🐄😏. Thanks Jag x
