Tried making goat's milk cheese for the first time a few days ago.It turned out really good.Flavored part of the first batch with fresh chives and a little fresh oregano.Yummy! Made another batch yesterday.This might become a habit. Before all we did was drink the milk, have it on cereal, and make ice cream occasionally.And feed the four -legged kids! -Robin

Oh yeah. I've been making feta every week, and I have about 16 pounds of cheddar in the fridge that we can't eat until at least the end of July. Waiting is the hard part.

Ruth--that's the ONLY reason I don't do the hard cheeses... I have no patience. LOL

Goat milk cheddar is really worth the wait!

And in the meantime I also make the chevre and the feta, so I don't have to wait for everything.

I am still in the dabbling beginning stages of making goat cheese. This morning I made a batch of ricotta, and you know how easy that is. I have boxer dogs and a few of them are hard to keep weight on, so I add a little ricotta to their dry kibble occasionally. I love feta cheese as well.

Chuck...I hope I am not hi-jacking this thread too badly, you can age cheese in the fridge? I thought it had to be kept at a temp 50 to 60 degrees? If we can age in the fridge, then I might take a step towards making some hard cheeses!
