The Art of Natural Cheesemaking

Most DIY cheesemaking books are hard to follow , complicated , and confusing , and call for the purpose of packaged freeze - dried culture , chemic additive , and expensive cheesemaking equipment . For though bread bake has its sourdough , brew its lambic ales , and pickling its godforsaken ferment , received Western cheesemaking practice today is decidedly unnatural . InThe Art of Natural Cheesemaking , David Asher practice and prophesy a traditional , but increasingly countercultural , way of making cheese — one that is natural and visceral , strand in ecological principles and biologic science .

This book encourages home and little - scale commercial cheesemakers to take a different approach by showing them :

• How to source good milk , including natural milk;• How to keep their own bacterial starter cultures and fungous ripening cultures;• How make their own rennet — and how to make good tall mallow without it;• How to avoid the use of plastic equipment and chemical additives ; and• How to use appropriate engineering .

Introductory chapters search and explain the basic elements of cheese : milk , acculturation , rennet , salt , tools , and the tall mallow cave . The fourteen chapters that adopt each examine a special year of cheese , from kefir and paneer to launder - rind and alpine styles , offering specific recipes and treat advice . The techniques presented are direct and thorough , fully illustrate with hand - drawn diagram and triptych photos that show the shift of cheeses in a comparative and dynamic fashion . The Art of Natural Cheesemakingis the first cheesemaking book to take a political posture against bragging Dairy and to criticize both standard industrial and artisanal cheesemaking practices . It promotes the use of honourable animate being rennet and protest the manipulation of research laboratory - grown freeze - dried cultures . It also explore how GMO applied science is creeping into our cheese and the steps we can take to stop it .

This script sounds a clarion call to cheesemakers to adopt more natural , sustainable practices . It may well change the way we wait at cheeseflower , and how we make it ourselves .
