How to Make Queso Fresco

Ingredients

½ gallon whole milk

¾ cup vinegar (either white or apple cider), or lemon juice

cheese cloth (of a piece of cotton or linen fabric)

1 table salt

2 strainers

herbs such as mint, oregano, or basil (optional)

Directions

1. Pour the milk into a large pot. It’s vital that you use whole milk, because that’s the milk that  

     has the fat needed to produce the cheese. Heat it to just before it boils, stirring

     constantly. Stir from the bottom, so that the milk doesn’t stick.

2. Once the milk reaches ‘almost boiling’, begin adding the vinegar (or lemon juice), a little at a

     time. You’ll see the milk begin to curdle.

3. Once you’ve added all of the vinegar (or lemon juice), turn the burner off and let the mixture

     cool for about 20 minutes.

4. Next, pour the mixture into the strainer to drain off the liquid, then, put the strainer with the

     mixture still in it, back into the pot to continue draining.

5. Add the salt. You can also add an herb for flavoring if you like. Be

     sure to chop the herb in to tiny, fine pieces.

6. Spread the cheesecloth (or cotton or linen fabric) over the second strainer, and, spoon the

     mixture into the cloth. Use a heavy cup or jar to press out more liquid. Then, fold the edges  

     of the cloth over the cheese and let it sit in the refrigerator, with the heavy item on it for about

     an hour.

7. After about an hour, the cheese should feel nice and firm. Using the cloth or fabric, lift it up

     from the strainer and put it on a plate. Your queso fresco is ready to eat. Yumm Yumm.

The Science of Queso Fresco

1. What do you think would happen if you used 1%, 2%, or fat free rather than whole milk?

2. What would happen if the milk boiled before you added the vinegar or lemon juice?

3. Why does the milk curdle when you add the vinegar (or lemon juice)?

4. What happens when you try to melt queso fresco?
