What a great idea of using soured whey to curdle the milk. I have done it with lemon juice. I think this might also be known as queso fresco. If anyone knows of a book/website that has recipes for making raw milk cheese--ideally not heating the milk past 110F and using things other than rennet, I'd love to know about it.

Could I use apple cider vinegar rather then lemon juice?
-
BTW, the whey I'm talking about is indeed from yogurt made from "raw" milk.

Nathan, I have whey in the fridge from making yogurt. Can that whey be used "as is" to make your version of mozzarella, or do I need to let it sit out and turn to vinegar first?
Thanks, Dale

Thanks - I will definitely give the whey another go but skim off the "white" stuff (before it turns blue & starts answering back). Would love to see more pd vids.
Cheers, Melody
Hi Nathan! Waited to try the recipe until I had a definite "vinegar." Followed the recipe and produced a tasty cheese though a smaller volume than tin your video and leaving a more milky than clear whey. Where did I goof up? BTW the whey tastes quite mild and sweet - is it drinkable?
Thanks, Melody

Hey Melody! The whey is very drinkable, I like to use it as a raw sports drink. You can even add a little raw honey to it. Please see the update to the recipe (2:37) in order to get a more consistent end product where I recommend adding lemon juice (not meyer or sweet lemons) instead of whey. It comes out just as good and you don't have to wait all that time for the whey to turn vinegar. Please comment back and let me know how that helps!

I made raw milk cottage cheese in my pantry as per Aajonus' directions and saved the whey (unfrigerated) with the idea of trying your recipe. I notice after a week, that more white solids are floating on top (no mold). Question 1. Do I just keep skimming off anything that forms? Question 2. Do I need to wait until the whey turns to "vinegar" before using in the recipe?
Thanks for your time,
Melody

Hey Melody! Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I didn't notice I had a comment. You can skim off the "white stuff" definitely. It is merely milk protein solids. I would wait about 2 weeks until it is ready to use. Or, check out my annotations and substitute lemon juice for whey. 1/4 cup of lemon juice per quart of milk. Let me know how it goes. Good luck!
