Dear Traditional Cook,

Dairy gets a bad rap.

Popular health media love to spread stories about the dangers of milk. Proteins, carbs, saturated fats, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, cholesterol, and bacteria.

Everything is in question.

The sad truth is, we have come a long way from the self-sufficient, life-giving properties of milk that our ancestors enjoyed.

Modern farming and pasteurization practices have robbed us of the nutrition and meal-time freedom that my Tata Wardeh loved to share with her children and grandchildren.

I wonder, can God’s original design for dairy be restored to us?

Here’s the good news… Clean raw milk is a living food with remarkable self-protective properties.

Even more amazing: while most foods spoil as they age, raw milk just keeps getting better.

And through the process of fermentation, several strains of bacteria transform milk into an even more digestible food: cultured cheese.

A 100% Self-Sufficient "Super" Food

Why would anyone want to culture their own cheese?

Eating raw, cultured cheeses:

• Provides over 60, fully intact and functional, enzymes to perform an amazing array of tasks and key reactions, including reducing the work load on your pancreas,
• Helps absorb and assimilate iron, calcium, phosphorus and fat-soluble vitamins,
• Makes milk proteins easier to digest (thanks to beneficial bacteria like Lactobacilli),
• Raises your metabolic rate, boosts muscle growth, reduces insulin resistance, and helps remove belly fat,
• Strengthens the immune system and discourages cancer,
• Lowers food allergy reactions,
• Prevents cavities,
• Reduces asthma symptoms,
• Builds cell membranes, activates key hormones, and protects delicate organs,
• and helps you feel full and satisfied between meals.

But why do cultured dairy and raw cheeses contain all of these amazing benefits?

The Open "Secret" About Raw Milk

Cultured dairy maintains all of these amazing benefits because they are qualities of raw, clean, pastured, unpasteurized, heirloom, whole milk.

Few people know that clean, raw milk from grass-fed cows was actually used as a medicine in the early part of the last century.

That's right. Milk straight from the udder, a sort of food “super booster”, was used as medicine to treat, and even cure some serious chronic diseases.

Nothing needs to be added to raw milk, especially that from grass-fed cows, to make it whole or better. No vitamins. No minerals. No enriching. It's a complete food.

Okay. So this is where it gets exciting…

Can You Really Make Your Own Cultured Cheese In Less Than 1 Hour?

Hi, my name is Wardee Harmon. And I’m the author of Fermenting and the Complete Idiot’s Guide to Fermenting Foods.

I am also the lead teacher for Traditional Cooking School — an online cooking school I created to honor my grandmother’s cooking traditions and preserve them so that future generations can enjoy the health benefits, flavors and fun of traditionally prepared foods.

When I first tried making my own cultured dairy and simple cheeses, I was surprised at how difficult it was to find supplies and easy instructions. I felt overwhelmed by the special equipment and complicated recipes.

But I absolutely had my heart set on making cheese from our family goat’s milk, so I did a ton of research and tried all sorts of obscure techniques. Eventually, I developed my own techniques for making raw, fresh cheeses. No aging. No special equipment required.

I got my technique down to the bare basics:

• Milk,
• Cheesecloth,
• Thermometer,
• Culture (there's one that works for pretty much all cheeses),
• Rennet, and
• Salt

And then I cut the working time down to the bare minimum. I like simple, practical, frugal, timeless techniques… so here’s my promise to you:

“Just follow the instructions, and in about an hour of hands-on-time, you’ll have fresh ricotta, queso blanco, feta, or goat cheese. Once you get the hang of it, you can break free from the rules and have fun experimenting with different spices, shapes, and recipes. Simple.”

The Magic Is In The "Cooking"

If you want to easily make your own cultured dairy and cheeses for good health, personal satisfaction, and amazing “real food” flavors that commercial cheeses just can’t imitate, then you are probably wondering…

• How do I start making cheese?
• How much cheese can I expect to get from one gallon of milk?
• I have goat's milk. Will the cow's milk recipes work for me?
• Can I make cheese without salt? If not, are some salts better than others?
• I live at a high altitude. Will I have to adjust the recipes?
• Many of the recipes have the same ingredients in them. What makes the cheeses different?
• How do I sanitize my equipment?
• Can I use the cheesecloth they sell at the grocery store?
• How do I raise the temperature of my milk without ruining it?
• How do I maintain my milk at the appropriate temperature for long periods of time?
• What do I do if the curd doesn't "set up"?
• Why do I need to cut the curds? How do I cut curds without ruining the cheese?
• Do I have to cut the curd immediately or can I let it sit longer while I do something else?

How do I know? Because these are the exact questions my students asked when I taught the Cultured Dairy and Basic Cheese eCourse live. The forum lit up with lively conversations as we debated the merits of different tools and techniques, and shared family secrets for creating the very best cheeses.

I Combined The Best From The Live Class Just For You!
