    How to make homemade cheese from cottage cheese and milk? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Cottage cheese is better to take fat and homogeneous, otherwise there may be cottage cheese inclusions in the finished product.

In my opinion, this is the easiest way to make homemade cheese. It can be made not just salty, but also supplemented with spices, pieces of dried tomatoes, herbs. It should be stored in the refrigerator wrapped in plastic wrap or wrapping paper.

It is important to carefully consider the choice of cottage cheese. A low-quality product can spoil the finished dish, as it directly affects the consistency, taste and final result. Choose fresh, natural cottage cheese, without foreign impurities, signs of spoilage (unpleasant smell, non-uniform color, separated serum). Do not forget to pay attention to the consistency (dry, moist, homogeneous or grains, soft or pasty), as well as the fat content of the product.
