How to make

  1. Start by preparing your colander by lining it with 2 layers of cheesecloth.
  2. Heat the goats milk over the stove on a medium heat and stir continually.
  3. Once the milk reaches 80 degrees, remove it from the stove and stir in the lemon juice and vinegar.
  4. Allow the mixture to curdle into small pieces for about 30 minutes.
  5. Gently stir in the salt, then slowly ladle the mixture into the cheesecloth-lined colander.
  6. Gather together the cheesecloth, make a knot at the top and hang it over the sink to drip.
  7. After an hour, place the mixture on a clean surface, sprinkle over your favourite herbs, then shape it into a long roll.
  8. Refrigerate for a few hours, then crumble over a fresh summer salad and enjoy.
