My daughter Sara is so creative when it comes to gift giving. Her Christmas gift to dad John was a mozzarella cheese making kit, with the promise that she would help make the cheese using the milk from our cows. This past weekend it was mission accomplished. Welcome to our cheese "factory."

The curds were separated from the whey.
Curds are drained and pressure was added to remove the remaining whey. |

| A perfect topping for home-made pizza! |
One gallon of milk made about nine ounces of mozzarella.
It took about one hour to make and it tasted great!
Ahhhh...the power of cheese!
Have you ever made cheese? How did it go for you?
FYI- Sara ordered the cheese making kit through Amazon.
