Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I have the opportunity to get fromage blanc cheese made from a local source of raw goat's milk. Does anyone know if this particular cheese is " legal " ? I couldn't find any reference to it in BTVC. Jeni Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I googled " fromage blanc " and found it to be a fresh, unaged cheese, so it would not be legal, sorry. , mom to > I have the opportunity to get fromage blanc cheese made from a local > source of raw goat's milk.

Wehave discussed the difficulties of making our own DCC at home. Anyhow here goes and remeber THIS IS NOT LEGAL as far as I know but clarifies for others just what Fromage Blanc is in the c;lasic sense. 2 quarts whole milk, as fresh as possible 1 cup heavy cream (optional) 2 cups fresh buttermilk 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, strained 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt, if desired Heavy Cream, for serving In a large, heavy saucepan, add the milk and the cream for a richer fromage blanc. In a mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk and lemon juice and stir to combine well. Add the buttermilk-lemon juice mixture to the milk and begin to heat the milk, over low heat and very slowly, to 175 degrees F. While the milk is heating, stir only twice, making 2 strokes each time, with a heat-proof spatula or other flat utensil. Check the temperature often. As soon as the temperature reaches 175 degrees F, remove the pot from the heat and allow to sit, undisturbed, for 10 minutes. Line a large colander with 2 layers of fine cheesecloth and set over a large bowl. Gently ladle the curds and whey into the colander and allow to drain until the drips of whey slows, about 2 minutes. Tie the corners of the cheesecloth together to form a hanging pouch, and hang pouch over a bowl and allow to drain until the cheese reaches the desired consistency. Carol F.
