You all have asked for a step-by-step tutorial in making mozzarella cheese, and here it is! I'm showing you exactly how to make mozzarella by using our raw goats milk from our home dairy. BUT since I know you don't all have access to raw milk, I decided to do a little experiment using the cheapest store brand cow's milk my grocery store had to offer? Will it work?
Here is where I originally learned to make cheese this way: thepioneerwoma...

You are so kind to experiment with regular milk for those of us that can’t get raw milk! Thank you!!!
It was the first milk I’d bought in a long time! I’m really glad it worked!
@@RootsandRefugeFarm Can you add the salt to the milk/water mixture instead of after the cheese is made or would adding salt before change the consistency?
@@RootsandRefugeFarm I know this is an old video, so not sure if you will see this, but what if you don’t use a microwave? My husband and I haven’t owned one our whole marriage (by choice) and are starting our first goat herd. Do you have suggestions for people who don’t use microwaves but still want to make cheese?
@@dre.ale.1191 if you're using raw milk, you can heat the whey and melt the mozzarella curds in the whey. With pasteurized milk, unfortunately, it won't melt in the heated whey. You can do a search on RUclips or Google to find out the temp to heat the whey for melting the curds.
I also appreciate the experimentation with regular milk.
My Dad was a licensed cheesemaker and one of the cheeses he made was mozzarella. The cows milk they used always was pasteurized, my Dad was pasteurizer certified too. I had no doubt the pasteurized milk would make mozzarella. It was cool to see how to make cheese on a small in home kitchen scale. Thanks for sharing this video. Dad has been gone for almost 6 years, and this video brought him back for a few minutes.
Thank you for sharing that Laura!
Oh my goodness! I’m so adopting you!! My daughter made over. She would soooooo tell the same “cheezzyy” joke! 😂🤣😂 You’re an absolute doll! Thank you and God Bless! ~Lisa
Just made it with store-bought milk! It turned out great!! Thank you for the exact directions! You made it very easy to follow! 👍😁
Thanks jess for your encouraging manner of teaching us all these old ways We all love it😊❤️
Your a sweet heart! Wonderfully made with smiles and love.. How fun you are to watch and learn from.. how natural you are in front of the camera.. I'm so happy to have come across you here.. Cheers everyone! Enjoy your mozza! Xo
Very good job! We love making homemade goat mozarella! Have you ever made string cheese sticks by stretching it out long and folding and long and folding etc. Then cutting it with scissors when long. I have a mozzarella video showing that fun technique at the end. Great video! Xoxoxo
I'd love to see that video to Rose .. I'll look for it in your playlist!!!
Love ya Honeykins!!
Thankyou , im now going to try making my own mozzarella cheese
@wholesome roots that sounds amazing! I’m really bummed that I wasted a gallon of goat’s milk. It never turned completely to curds and whey.
My daughter followed this recipe using Nigerian Goat's milk, and got it to come out! Love you woman
Thankyou for the comparison. Raw milk is banned in Australia (for human consumption)- unless you own milking animals. So all our milk is pasteurised. It will be good to give this a try
We get it from the organic market place for “milk baths” 😉
Excellent tutorial you are a natural teacher God bless
This is so funny because I was wondering if you ever made goat milk mozzarella. This is why. Your husband seems to be really talented with building stuff and I'll bet he can make you a really great Italian pizza oven. It would be great outside on your property. There are lots of instructions on RUclips) And you can also roast meats in a pizza oven. I can only imagine how great your pizzas would be with the mozzarella you make and fresh tomatoes, garlic and holy basil all from your garden! I have been after my husband who is from Italy to make one but he just doesn't have that gift of building. Anyway, I enjoyed the video and I will have to give mozzarella making a try. 💐
I've used store bought cows milk and I follow your method except I microwave it in 1 minute increments instead of 30 seconds. It always turns out good! Love your videos!
Jess you are such an inspiration. I really miss living on acreage (did the usual move to the city for $$) Hoping my husband and I can buy property with a little land soon! I really love your down to earth nature. & your gardening tips are the best. Built myself a little planter so hopefully I can grow some tomatoes here in Sydney whilst we save for our property :) I honestly don't know how you manage to do all the things you fit into your day whilst looking after your family but hopefully I can get there some day!!!
is there a way to do this without the microwave ?
I would think you could probably just set them over a bowl of hot water or double boiler and warm them that way????
I found a recipe online without microwave instructions. Sorry, I don't remember the website. It said to dip the cheese back in the hot whey to heat it between stretching.
I hope this helps. I'm sure you can find the recipe if you want more information.
Gimi H Yup!! I made motz cheese before. I heated it by putting it in a bowl of hot water and kneading it smooth and stretching it while hot. Came out perfect 😊
Just use a double boiler and watch temperature and squeeze out whey as it heats up.keep folding till stretch starts to happen. Then pull the same as she did.
I was coming here to ask the same question. As we no longer have a microwave and won't be buying another one.
Love watching you in the kitchen too. Nobody I’ve seen has done a comparison of both milks. It was very interesting. Thanks and God bless you and your family.
You honestly have made my small dream of owning a homestead seem much more achievable than i originally thought! When i met my husband we hadn't really thought about it and since we've been married our health had been declining with thyroid, autoimmune diseases and vitamin deficiencies. Part of that has been because our eating habits and just not eating whole delicious fresh foods and not getting outdoors like we used to.
I personally am more of the picky eater but I want to try to start making an effort to try new things and expand my tastes through a small garden on our apt porch. I haven't actually achieved growing any thing to harvest yet, I have kept on trying and this is my third year to give it a go! I'm preparing my stuff to start plants at the correct time and use a lot of what i have learned from watching you and teaching me tips I can use(I live in N. TX) and it helps to know little tidbits you add in your videos! You and your sweet family are such a delight to watch and see someone living in a way i strive to and it's so incredibly inspiring! I hope that you know how important a resource you guys are and how amazing it is to spread such happiness and knowledge!
Keep up the hard work and I can wait to join you in having a homestead and a great way of living!
No one is gonna mention that gorgeous Pyrex bowl?
We sell raw jersey milk!!😁
What part of NJ are you located in?
@@paulai3214 They are not IN Jersey. They have a JERSEY cow!!😂
don't ever be sorry to live in your own home. Thank you for inviting us in!
When u make Fresh Mozzarella, u become a Piasano and start talking with your hands! ciao...🍷🍷😎
you lady, you are absolutely beautiful :P !! ......great vid, thanks for sharing!
Hi Jess, Love ❤️ your Video!!! Haven’t watched you in awhile, So Happy to be Home. I missed Watching My Favorite Family ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I feel so blessed to have discovered you.
love your videos, you're so cute!! i'll have to find an alternative to the microwave as i don't use one, or have one :/ other than that, it looks super easy!
This is what I was wondering.
I've seen it on another channel. Then using some other way to keep it warm.. they use the liquid (whey) I think....
We have a microwave..(its a rental and above the stove..but we have one we own in our shed..my husband can't live without it lol).
I personally try avoid to use it and use my air fryer or cast iron for reheating. If I had raw milk to make cheese..I personally would do the alternative to microwaving.
Wow again....I think I can do this...thanks for the confidence builder🐐🐐🐐
Awesome seeing the differences in both kinds of milk. Thank you.
Jess, Someone said, " A clean house is a sign of a wasted life." :)
I’ve always said as long as there are more than more than one person living in the house, it will not be clean. Lol
I asked my mom once, on your deathbed are you going to wish you had cleaned your house more or spent more time with your kids. She chose the clean house.
@@Cindyd-k3e :(
@@cugrngneer it's okay, I grew up in a really clean house!
@@cugrngneer A clean environment is imperative for some people's mental health or ability to focus. Chaos in one's environment can make a sense of peace difficult for them. Something to keep in mind.
Thank you for showing us that cheese can be made in a real, living kitchen that maybe almost never has a completely empty sink!
Gasp! All the kids are gonna have to help me do this. I've wanted to make mozzarella for years but I never have. This is so cool!
I've never put the ice in the pot, and my milk always, without fail, scalds on the bottom of the pot. So I think I will try this!
I love what you say about the dishes! Love it! Forget the dishes!
What breed do you have? Nubian? Nigerian dwarf?
There is a man on YT that has a video making mozarella with powdered milk..it seemed to work, who knows what really goes out here in YT land. I'm just thinkin, I'm thinkin it worked because his channel sure won't last long if he fakes success! Enjoy your channel, your garden, your family & you! Thanks so much for all you give! LOL Judie
Omg when you said you wasn't gonna say anything that "cheesy"😂I love it! You're the hottest, most amazing woman on RUclips imo. I LOVE your channel with all my ❤️. Keep up the amazing videos! You're so amazing!
As I am going through these vlogs from oldest to new I’m truly enjoying them! I hope to see more of your cooking vlogs. You and your family are a blessing to your viewers 💕
I was able to find rennet tables at Kroger and Citric acid at H-E-B, its next to the canning supplies there.
that’s lots of work!your patience is deserving of a medal.omg!from raising goats to milking to finished cheese product.dat is mission impossible for me.i have lots of papers to finish.
i’m so like for the meantime going to the italian bistro located infront of the campus and order pestro genovese pasta😀
I feel so blessed to have discovered you
Yes yes yes!!!!! Also thank you for yesterday’s video! I have been looking for an explanatory video of Seed harvesting!
I tried cheese with store bought milk and it worked ok. I need to try the ice. If true, I wonder...would it work for other milk recipes?
Maybe i can convince one of our cows to stand still so we can have raw milk. We have miniature zebu and I haven't been brave enough to actually try it yet.
I have been catching up with your channel today. Love the garden and testimony. I looked up the video on your garden construction so I can try to organize my garden. It is driving me crazy. Tomatoes everywhere.
I think we are neighbors, at least by Utube standards. I live just north of Ft Smith. Reference to the cedar slabs sounds like possibly a sawmill very near me. You are welcome to come by whenever you visit your brother. I could use ideas for more projects to drive my husband crazy!
4th of July I was in the woods clearing for a new fence. My husband told me I was crazy because it was too hot. He refused to participate so I took my chainsaw and cut down some trees. Now I just have to finish dragging them out! Need cedar?
Love this! Will have my son make this this week for homeschool culinary class hehe Can't wait! Thanks for all the videos wish i had time to sit down and watch from video one until now but keep watching new ones when i see them :)
😁 love this little video 🙂 I used non homogenized milk last time I made mozarella and I ended up with more cheese than the previous batch in which I'd used milk that was homogenized, it is a little bit more expensive but definitely worth it, the flavour was a bit more intense aswell. 😊
This lady is awesome i love her. I just recently started my own garden and have been getting some helpful hints from your videos. You have inspired me to do more in my garden. Thank you so much
Oh my goodness! I am definitely going to try making mozzarella. Thank you Jessica! It is pouring rain on our zone 6 coast of Maine. Looking forward to growing veggies this year and am so happy to have found you and Charles Dowding the "no dig" gardener from England. When friends mention all the crazy shows they are binge watching during these quarantine days I am so happy to have found you. Thanks again.
You Jess make my day! Please never stop making this beautiful, helpful, cheerful heartfelt content! It's so amazing and you are completely inspirational! All the wya from South Africa x
You are not an adult till you get a bowl of that set (colors may be different) they one day show up and you think it's your moms but she has hers...no one gets how tv his happens but its how the universe says "you are an adult"
FINALLY have a nice little dairy goat herd of Nigerian Dwarfs with an Alpine buck and two does (with two doelings and a buckling) in MILK! I also just added a triple set of half Saanens half ND's who are six months old and should cross beautifully with my Buck! I'm getting a quart a day right now with one morning milking. The babies can be weaned in another month or so and I'll go to two a day milkings and I'm so so so excited to have FRESH RAW MILK.
I'm making a pizza pot pie tomorrow and am considering using every drop of goat's milk I have in the house to do so.
hummm....lol. I have cow's milk too, but it's pasteurized and that goat mozza looks amazing.
I found some pasteurized milk in town and made cheese last week. I couldn't find my cheesemaking rennet that I know I bought so I used grocery store stuff. I was scared it wasn't going to set up but read the recipe that was in the rennet packet and they had said to let it sit for an hour to set up...so I waited and it worked. raw milk is not legal to sell in our state. I went to South Carolina a while ago and looked for raw milk at a grocery store...I couldn't find any....I couldn't believe they weren't practicing their raw milk freedom!!
I just successfully made cheese! Thank you! I did it with pasteurized cow’s milk because that’s what I have access to. It turned out beautifully and it’s taking so much self-control to not gobble the whole thing up right now. 😋
Hi Jess, you are never going to believe how you helped me. I had made a batch using regular milk and it turned out like cottage cheese before I got it right with trying again with RAW COW MILK. But here is my news, I hadn't tossed out the cottage cheese effort yet, so I thought I would try, the microwaving it for 30 second intervals and see if I would get the elasticity that you got and salvage my effort. Whallah!! It worked!!! Like you said, not as much stretch, but enough to make a bunch of cheese balls that taste great! The microwave fixed the crumbling (no stretch) initial texture. Ty😊
question I read you can use pasteurized but NOT ultra pasteurized...is what you used pasteurized and not ULTRA pasteurized?? Thank you so much for sharing this simple recipe...stay blessed
Again, excellent video! I am going to try this for sure. My husband loves cheese and maybe this will be the turning point to finally getting some goats! Thanks a bunch!
Thank you so much for testing out store bought milk for those of us who unfortunately don’t have access to raw milk. I’ve already made your farmers cheese, which was delicious. Next I’d like to try mozzarella, but I was wondering if you’ve tried making it without the citric acid and instead used vinegar or lemon juice. I would much rather go with those options, but not sure if it will be a successful swap.
PS I had a hard time getting my cow milk cheese to get super stretchy too. I can get raw milk just across the border at a little gas station Market. So I have to get some of that next time I make cheese
Awesome experiment!!!! I love that you are not afraid to try something unusual and different
Love your videos, but this is not mozzarella, watch "mozzarella di bufala" videos, Italian videos for the right method,
Ohhh this looks like a fun activity to do with the boys one day! They looove cheese! (They get that from me) I bet this will make a really great grilled cheese sandwich with some of that sauce you made on the side for dipping.
Whey will preserve homemade mayonnaise. Doesn’t take much and it’ll keep much longer.
Horizon Milk does pasteurize their organic milk but it is not homogenized or ultra-pasturized. It is expensive, however.
Thank you so much! I dont have access to fresh milk and appreciate you playing Sherlock for us😉😊Ill be trying this tomorrow
Holy Cow! Success the first try. Easy! Delicious! I'm keeping the whey for cooking (or treat the chickens) and I gave the cooking water to my dog. He loved it! No waste here. I'll be making this often.
Awesome video! Thank you for this experiment. Making mozzerella tonight or tomorrow and I needed one "reliable" source to tell me it would work. Thanks!
I make a lot of cheese. You can use store bought milk - as you've shown. But the ULTRA-Pasturized is NOT good for cheese making. I make cops milk mozzarellas the same way you showed but with my own milk... and it comes out good usually.
What a great recipe! It worked exactly as described with my fresh raw goat milk :) Thanks!
Thank you for the experiment! From what I read it seems like the homogenization process also affects the curd properties. Like your experience I haven't seen non-homoginized milk even though I've read it exists.
Hi, I have a quick question. You hated the goat's milk to 90 degrees and the pasteurized cow's milk to 80 degrees. Is that correct? Thanks much
Next week this will be first on my list, if I can find the acid and the renet in store. Thank you so much!
You have answered all my questions! It’s illegal for farmers to sell farm milk her in Manitoba Canada. So it’s next to impossible to get unpasteurized milk. I will try store bought milk! Thank you again.
Hi Jes thanks for sharing. I’ve recently subscribed, and have been listening to many of your videos and just love them. I am looking forward to try to make mozzarella. Thanks again.
Help! Mine stayed hard & separated into curds. It won't stretch. Raw goat's milk. It also smells goaty. I used a butter muslin cloth to squeeze the whey out. Should I have left it more moist? What looked like cream kept coming out of it. So it's a pretty dry cheese. Not yummy on this batch. Any tips?
Thank you for this recipe! Can you also share a video about that chicken parm recipe that you talked about in this video? That sounds absolutely yummy! Or, you could just make a cook book😃😃!
Have you tried making ricotta from the leftover whey? It's supposed to be the traditional method from Italy.
I have heard that what actually makes the store bought cow milk not stretch properly is the homogenization not the pasteurization. I’ve seen pasteurized non homogenized milk made into perfectly stretchy mozzarella not heated in the microwave, just in boiling water.
If you don't have a microwave, because well, I don't, how would you do the microwave part without a microwave?
hey! i’m wondering if there’s an alternative to the microwave part?
GIRL! We live in our house too! Definitely not a show house, we always have something stacked on our table, counters or in our sinks!
What does raw goat's milk taste like? Is it gamy/funky like goat's milk cheese? You said that the mozarella tastes just like cow's milk mozarella.
Another great job done Jess! That cheese came out looking ever so tasty! I like the looks of the goat milk cheese over the store bought cheese any day! Thanks for showing us how you make yours. Hope you have an awesome rest of this week!
Wow! That was so interesting! What would you suggest if I didn't have a microwave? Oh I see the answer in all the comments! I am really excited to try this! Thank you for your wonderful videos!
I love your video's! Yes, the texture was an issue for me with the cow's milk type also, when I tried it.
The only thing I have access to here in Canada is Homogenized 3% cow milk or N.H.T. pasteurized milk....I tried twice now without success, once, totally mu fsult as I only noticed after mid-away that I didnt even noticed that I purchsed skim milk .lolol...so I really want to do this so anyone has suggestions?
I spoke to a farm to see if I can buy directly and she told me that in Ontario its against the law to sell unpasteurized milk.
Could you dry it out and shred it to sprinkle on pizza? How would you recommend doing that if it’s possible? 3 of us in our family needing to be DF and trying goats milk as an alternative. Thank you!
I have tried twice. Once yesterday and epic fail. Then another gallon of moo today...epic fail. Third times a charm? Uhm nope..they have it at the store. I never give up but sometimes a girls gotta know when to stop the disappointment lol. Thanks for this video though. 👍
I use yoghurt whey substituted for water to make bread with whole wheat flour. It improves the flavor *SO* much. I found the tip in a source about using whey leftover from the cheese making process. It just said "whey" and did not specify yoghurt whey or cheese whey.
Cyndi Socal. Want to do this. Daughter who is 15 and a half. The half really counts. She wants to drive.😌 son 26, waited until 17. She wants a motorcycle, he is a mechanic and told her she gets a Volvo. Literally, he is looking for one to restore for her. Anyway, she likes steak, potatoes and cheese. Tilamook. I asked her to make cheese with me. She said no! I guess we have to resort to corraded artery films. She eats very few veggies. Alot of fruit. Comes from a divorced family. Ours. Loves steak, potatoes and cheese. I give her a veggie vite. But worry about cholesterol. I am going to try the goat cheese mozzarella.
You can’t even find raw milk at the new Wholefoods in Fayetteville. I know, I’ve looked. We live in Van Buren so I get the Arkansas thing.
is it MATZO Rella like you pronounce MATZO crackers? or Mootz e rella like Moo Moo cows? In Italian they pronounces it Moats e rella like pronouncing Mozart
Do you think there's a way to do the microwave step without a microwave? Maybe in an oven? What would you suggest?
I've made homemade cheese and yogurt...
If you put your finger in it and it's warm in the count of 5..
It's ready
OmG I'm SO excited to get a gallon of whole milk from aldi and make homemade cheese!!!! Love u!!
Great video. I think I will give this a try with whole milk. I don't have any goats. Your dinner menu sounds yummy!
Heck yeah! I'm excited to try it now! I'd like to see what you do with all the mint growing in the garden
Hi Jessica, I love your videos. I made mozzarella today from goat milk, I got 9.8 oz its perfect mozzarella cheese easy to make I love the recipe. And my family love the cheese. I never made any kind of cheese in my life.
Thanks for the lesson on mozzarella. Have you made any hard cheeses with goats milk? We are experimenting this year, our 5th year with dairy goats. We are getting 2 gallons a day right now and still bottle feeding some of the babies.
You can use homogenized and pasteurized, just not ULTRA pasteurized bc that process uses higher heat and alters the milk too much
Homogenization just spins the milk really fast so it doesnt separate on store shelves and look offputting to consumers
I totally loved this, I can get regular milk but goats milk is exspensive where I am at, i mean i dont have a farm but i feel, i will live vicariously through you! I would try this really, what else do you got in that head of yours its fascinating! You are a blessing to watch! Do you have a cookbook that you go by or do you cook for the way it is for nowadays we have help with microwaves and different helpful items in the kitchen. I just think cheese cloth is so unsanitary and like your way much better. Maybe you should write a cookbook, I would like to cook as they used to but not with the hard work it takes to do so. Our lives are so much more busier than they used to be, with kids, school, and the extra stress of covid-19.
The captioning says I smoke pot every time I make cheese. Lol. I rewound it to check. It’s always way off but that was a funny rewording of what you were saying. You were talking about a stainless pot verses an iron pot. I can’t wait to make some cheese
Thank you. I'm going to make some this afternoon for dinner :)
I will try to make fresh mozzarella. You have inspired me! Thanks!
Just make sure it isn't ultra-pasteurized! I can't wait to try and make lactose free mozarella! 😁
