    You all have asked for a step-by-step tutorial in making mozzarella cheese, and here it is! I'm showing you exactly how to make mozzarella by using our raw goats milk from our home dairy. BUT since I know you don't all have access to raw milk, I decided to do a little experiment using the cheapest store brand cow's milk my grocery store had to offer? Will it work?
    Here is where I originally learned to make cheese this way: thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/m...

      @@dre.ale.1191 if you're using raw milk, you can heat the whey and melt the mozzarella curds in the whey. With pasteurized milk, unfortunately, it won't melt in the heated whey. You can do a search on CZcams or Google to find out the temp to heat the whey for melting the curds.

    My Dad was a licensed cheesemaker and one of the cheeses he made was mozzarella. The cows milk they used always was pasteurized, my Dad was pasteurizer certified too. I had no doubt the pasteurized milk would make mozzarella. It was cool to see how to make cheese on a small in home kitchen scale. Thanks for sharing this video. Dad has been gone for almost 6 years, and this video brought him back for a few minutes.

    You honestly have made my small dream of owning a homestead seem much more achievable than i originally thought! When i met my husband we hadn't really thought about it and since we've been married our health had been declining with thyroid, autoimmune diseases and vitamin deficiencies. Part of that has been because our eating habits and just not eating whole delicious fresh foods and not getting outdoors like we used to.
    I personally am more of the picky eater but I want to try to start making an effort to try new things and expand my tastes through a small garden on our apt porch. I haven't actually achieved growing any thing to harvest yet, I have kept on trying and this is my third year to give it a go! I'm preparing my stuff to start plants at the correct time and use a lot of what i have learned from watching you and teaching me tips I can use(I live in N. TX) and it helps to know little tidbits you add in your videos! You and your sweet family are such a delight to watch and see someone living in a way i strive to and it's so incredibly inspiring! I hope that you know how important a resource you guys are and how amazing it is to spread such happiness and knowledge!
    Keep up the hard work and I can wait to join you in having a homestead and a great way of living!

    This is so funny because I was wondering if you ever made goat milk mozzarella. This is why. Your husband seems to be really talented with building stuff and I'll bet he can make you a really great Italian pizza oven. It would be great outside on your property. There are lots of instructions on CZcams) And you can also roast meats in a pizza oven. I can only imagine how great your pizzas would be with the mozzarella you make and fresh tomatoes, garlic and holy basil all from your garden! I have been after my husband who is from Italy to make one but he just doesn't have that gift of building. Anyway, I enjoyed the video and I will have to give mozzarella making a try. 💐

I really love your down to earth nature. & your gardening tips are the best. Built myself a little planter so hopefully I can grow some tomatoes here in Sydney whilst we save for our property :) I honestly don't know how you manage to do all the things you fit into your day whilst looking after your family but hopefully I can get there some day!!!

    I grew up drinking raw milk after it's called and most of the cream taken off for cheese, butter, Gee , .
    You can make it from pastureized, but the quality is so much different for the amount you will get from raw milk. At least that's how I learned. I scalded my best pan when I was a new bride. That's been 35 years ago. I haven't done it again since. Your right, you learn pretty fast. Lol
