Hello everyone.
Is it possible to make a suitable mixture (either quark or cottage
cheese)from ordinary milk? Does one need to make buttermilk/yogurt
first or can the mixture be made straight from low fat milk. Because
of Jewish Dietary laws, it is not possible to find suitable ORGANIC
cottage cheese, so it needs to be made from scratch. If anyone in this
group knows anything about this, please respond.
Permanent Health and blessings to everyone here.

I wonder if this simple recipe would do? Perhaps you could substitute kosher salt for the usual salt that's called for in this recipe. I'll be looking for other recipes from the list, as well!

Warm wishes,

Homemade Cottage Cheese

1 gallon 2% milk
1/2 cup vinegar
1 teaspoon salt

Heat the milk to 190°F.
You will need a thermometer for other cheeses but you can get by here turning off the heat just before the milk begins to boil.
Add the vinegar and allow the mixture to cool.
When cool, pour the mixture, which now consists of curds and whey into a colander and drain off the whey.
Pour the curds into a bowl and sprinkle on the salt and mix well.
You may wish to use less salt or more, depending on your taste.

Hi Bella,
Can you find organic yogurt to use as a starter for yogurt(which would
then be drained for yogurt cheese)? Or is there a probiotic in powdered
form that is kosher? If so, that could be added to organic milk to make
the yogurt.

Kind Regards,
Janice

Hi again,
Nancy's organic cottage cheese is also kosher.

Hi Bella, Yes. Cottage cheese is the most difficult. There are several
possibilities. You can use a yogurt starter or probiotic starter to make
Yogurt, and then strain the yogurt to make yogurt cheese. I do this using
organic dried milk powder. No idea whether it is kosher.
Or you can get kefir grains and make kefir. I did this a while, but
didn;t like the taste as much,

I am not Orthodox. However, it is my understanding that one may relax the
rules when seriously ill. For instance, not fasting on Yom Kippur. If you
have little strength, can you start by using Nancy's Cottage cheese, and
start to make your own when you are ready to do so? Rhoda
