Method

  1. To every quart of new milk add a gill of cream, mane the mixture moderately warm, and put to it just rennet enough to turn it.
  2. When the curd comes, lay a cloth in the vat or mould, for which the bottom of a sieve may be used, but it should be of the exact size of the intended cheese.
  3. Then letting out the curd, with a skimming dish fill up the mould, turn the cloth over it, and set it to drain.
  4. As the curd settles, keep filling in more with a gentle pressure, till the whey is wholly extracted, and there is sufficient substance left for the cheese.
  5. Then turn it out into a drv cloth, and press it with a moderate weight, not exceeding two pounds.
  6. At night turn it into a clean cloth, and next morning slightly sprinkle it with salt, after which, if it is dry enough, lay it on a bed of fresh nettle, strawberry, or ash leaves, and cover it with more of the same.
  7. Shift, and turn it twice a day, renewing the leaves for a fortnight, when it will be fit to eat.
  8. If wanted sooner, it may be kept in a warm place, between two pewter dishes, covered with leaves as before.
