Directions:

  1. Heat the milk in a large heavy pan until lukewarm and stir in the salt. Remove from the heat.
  2. Crush the rennet tablets in a small bowl, add cold water and stir until dissolved.
  3. Slowly pour the rennet liquid into milk, stirring the milk gently.
  4. Cover the pan with a lid and leave at the side of the stove, undisturbed, for half an hour.
  5. When set, break up curds by stirring with a whisk and let the curds settle.
  6. Line a big sieve or colander with a double layer of muslin or cheesecloth. Put it over a large basin to catch the drips.
  7. Ladle the curds into the prepared strainer using a skimming spoon.
  8. Let the curd drain for a while, then scrape down the cheese from the sides of the blow and tie the ends of the cloth together.
  9. Suspend from a hook over a basin and leave to drain at room temperature for about another 6 hours.
  10. Then suspend it from a shelf in the fridge, over a bowl to catch the drips, and leave it for another 12 hours to drain thoroughly.
  11. Turn out of the cloth and store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
