I would like to try making fresh Mozzarella Cheese. Tue Jun 26 06:56:18 -0700 2007 22252 Lilbug 1 2694872 How fun! You'll be a pro by tomato season! I know Mississippi Market just held a seminar on making your own mozzarelle cheese--if none of the other 'hounds know who carries rennet, perhaps call MM to see if they do? http://www.msmarket.coop/newsitem.php?id=274 Good luck! I hope you post about your experience on the home cooking board. I would really love to know how it goes for you. ~TDQ Tue Jun 26 07:10:40 -0700 2007 2694819 12005 The Dairy Queen 1 2695014 Easy-peasy: Byerly's, in the baking goods section.

Tue Jun 26 21:36:38 -0700 2007 2695014 22252 Lilbug 3 2698738 Come back and report on how it works! I had trouble finding non-ultrapasteurized milk and never got satisfying cheese. But I'm thinking of giving it another go. By the way -- almost all organic milk is ultrapasteurized, even if it's labeled just "pasteurized."

(Is raw milk legal here?) Wed Jun 27 13:01:40 -0700 2007 2698738 46057 Uisge 5 2700447 I found a reference to a place where you can buy it, as long as you do so at the farm itself and bring your own container. Will report back later with the source. Wed Jun 27 13:57:01 -0700 2007 2700198 10514 KTFoley 5 2700471 According to the U Extension, "milk, cream, skim milk, goat milk, or sheep milk occasionally secured or purchased for personal use by any consumer at the place or farm where the milk is produced" may be purchased raw. The web page I looked at gives further info on safety, etc. http://www.extension.umn.edu/foodsafety/components/columns/Oct29.htm Sources for raw milk at the farm: http://www.realmilk.com/where3.html#mn Google "raw milk Minnesota" for a list of horror stories.
