Homemade Herb Cheese from Just Two Ingredients

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're making creamy, ricotta-like homemade cheese from just milk and vinegar, then flavoring it with your favorite herbs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes and involves bringing milk to a boil, curdling it with vinegar, draining it through cheesecloth, and gently squeezing it into a ball – the trickiest part is handling the hot, delicate curds carefully.

  1. 1/6

    Bring the milk to a boil

    Slowly bring the milk to a boil, stirring constantly so it doesn't catch on the bottom. Then take it off the heat.

  3. 3/6

    Set up the sieve and cheesecloth

    Set a sieve over a pot or bowl and line it with cheesecloth. Pour the curdled milk mixture over it so the curds settle in the cloth.

About this recipe

I absolutely love this cheese! It's quick, homemade – so you know exactly what's in it – and incredibly tasty. Flavoured with whichever herbs you like best. This time I went with a herb salt I brought back from Austria, plus some fresh basil. Texture-wise, it reminds me a lot of ricotta, which I'm a huge fan of :).
