Farmer’s cheese is somewhat similar to cottage cheese, with cottage cheese having larger curds. Farmer’s cheese is much less grainy and typically does not have an addition of salt. Farmer’s cheese recipe is very popular in Russia and ex-soviet countries. It is also an amazing addition to those of us who need a perfect mid day snack. It can be dressed up with berries, fruits, sour cream and a little honey.
Notes:
*The fattier the content of the milk and the yogurt you chose, the higher the yield of the Farmer’s cheese.
*Muslin is easier to use since you can strain it, press to get extra whey out and not worry about cheese curds sticking to it.
Cheese cloth may not give you such flexibility, unless you find one with very fine and strong netting.
* In order to separate the Farmer’s cheese from the whey you may want to move everything closer to the sink. That way if there is a mess, you will be able to clean it up easily. I like to use the leftover whey for other dishes, so, I keep some and I a toss some into the sink. Whichever method works best for you.
* Remember, the more you drain, the drier Farmer’s cheese you will have. For baking it is best to have dry Farmer’s cheese. For consuming with fruits and honey, it doesn’t really matter if it is well strained or not.
