The Town of Odyssey

That's a lot of cheese! Maybe when I'm up in PA I can buy some of your Clover Cheese. If I can find it. Then again... I wouldn't want your cheesiness to rub off on me. :-# I've really enjoyed reading about the process and seeing the pictures! Thanks for sharing! :D This is exactly what I wanted to ...

It's so Gouda In addition to using different cultures, different processes during cheese making are used to make different varieties. The first step to making creamy Gouda cheese is to drain out 40% of the whey and add warm water in its place. This gives us a moister cheese. After stirring for seve...

What in the World is Affinage? Our cheese is made from raw milk, and according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) all raw milk cheeses must be aged for 60 days before then can be sold. The FDA says this allows enough time for the good bacteria to kill off any possible bad bacteria. We make o...

Okay then, I shall continue through with Cheddar and them come back and explain what is different for making Gouda/Swiss. I also edited in another picture I found into my last post if anyone want to go see it. Hoops and Followers Just in case you haven't noticed already, cheese makers have a special...

Cheddar is a Verb Once the whey has been drained, we pile all of the curds together in the center of the cheese vat. The pile is cut into long strips or slabs of cheese. http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m634/blessed_cheesemaker/cheesemaking/cheese-curds_zps7b589c82.jpg These slabs are then laid ...

I also support the expansion of image width and the reduction in allowed lines of text

Is this a family business you plan on doing for the rest of your life? What do you call the brand? At this point, yes. We sell it under the name Clover Creek Cheese Cellar. *prepares to be creeped upon* :anxious: How cool! I knew your family actually made cheese because of your name and profile inf...

Curds and Whey During that thirty to sixty minute wait, the culture bacteria are multiplying and making the milk more acidic. The next step is to add rennet. Rennet is added to coagulate the acidic milk. Coagulate just means that the milk gets firm like jello or yogurt, so that we can separate the ...

Yes, We sell it at several farmers' markets and stores.

Hadassah wrote:What different types of cheese do you make?

We make a over a dozen varieties including Cheddar, Gouda, and Swiss. I'll talk more about our varieties in later posts.

I have received a number of questions about my username and whether I really do make cheese. Yes, I live on a dairy farm where my family turns the milk that our cows produce into cheese. I am creating this thread so I have one place to refer everyone to when they ask me how we make cheese. I am plan...

Looking at Dan to get that reference.

Well I might as well embrace it, right?

Thanks Whitty

That must be a really old strip. Good one though.
I think I like Superman better, just because his stories tend to be less dark. I appreciate his morals more than Batman's. Plus he grew up on a farm like me

I have Adobe Photoshop, but what is Adobe Fireworks? I don't think I've ever heard of it before. Adobe Fireworks is a program especially designed for making images for websites and online viewing. I still have the CS5 version I bought for a web design college course, but it works great for designin...

I use Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Fireworks to make my compositions

You did now Thanks!

So, I finally went back and got caught up on this show. The overall "lost power" story is about the only thing that is keeping me watching. The rest of it I don't really care about as much. We finally know why the power still doesn't work, but not how the pendants negate them or how Grace ...

Here is what I came up with for now:

If you are not entirely happy with it I can try again, or if you want any changes I can make them for you.
