It’s very easy to prepare a curd cheese with naturally soured milk (simply left out of the fridge in a centrally heated kitchen).

Ingredients

  • 1 litre full-fat milk, soured

Method

Line a colander or large sieve with a clean tea towel and set over a basin. Tip in the curdled milk. Knot opposite corners of the tea towel together and hang the bundle on a hook to drip into the bowl overnight.

The following morning, you’ll find a firm ball of curds in the cloth, while the whey will have dripped into the bowl. Squeeze the bundle to extract any remaining liquid.
