About this recipe

Brynza is a white brined cheese with a clean, milky flavour and a saltiness that comes from the brine. Learning how to make brynza at home is a good introduction to rennet cheeses: you set the milk with rennet, cut the curd, drain the whey and press the cheese before it goes into the brine. Crumble it into salads, bake it into pastries or serve it with fresh vegetables.

What the guide covers

The step-by-step guide covers cutting the curd, stirring the curd grains and forming the cheese. Brine strength and temperature matter at the salting stage, so take these values from the recipe rather than guessing. Remember, too, that the brine strength stays the same however much milk you use.
