How to Make Mozzarella

Instructions

Step 1

Dissolve the rennet in water.

Step 2

In a steel pot, heat the milk to 40º C, remove from the heat and add the natural yogurt and the rennet.

Step 3

Cover the pot and let it rest at 37º C for one hour.

Step 4

Use a knife to make vertical, horizontal and diagonal cuts.

Step 5

Let it sit, covered, another 20 minutes.

Step 6

Stir it and let it rest for another 4 hours at 37 ºC

Step 7

Strain the whey from the cheese.

Step 8

Crush the cheese to continue separating the whey from the cheese. Let it sit, covered for 5 hours.

Step 9

Cut off a small piece of the cheese and place it in a pot of boiling water. If when heated it melts in a chewy way, the cheese is ready to make mozzarella; otherwise you have to let it rest for a while longer.

Step 10

Cut the cheese into sticks.

Step 11

In a bowl, make a brine with salt and cold water, stir until it dissolves. Add the ice.

Step 12

Put the cheese sticks and cover them with water at 50º C, then water at 90ºC. Use a wooden spoon to stir the melted cheese. Stretch it around the stick, so that a cheese ball forms.
