Re: Is cottage cheese cooked (i.e. not raw?)

[Guest guest]

I think one rule of thumb is that, if you can put your finger in the milk and

hold it there for a while, you're not killing enzymes, but this sounds a bit

subjective to me.

Subject: Is cottage cheese " cooked " (i.e. not raw?)

I'm making cottage cheese for the first time (fun!) and the recipe has me

hold it at 112 for 30 min. Is that enough to kill the enzymes or would they

still be alive? It seems like a pretty low temperature to me.

Has anyone here made cottage cheese just from letting raw milk sit out

overnight? I used the Flora Danica starter with some pasturized milk for my

first try just to see what will happen and I think I'll try the raw milk next

batch. (If it failed I didn't want too many unknowns!)

I think 112 is the cut off. Anything higher kills enzymes.
