Fresh Homemade Organic Raw Milk Mozzarella is a delicious and healthy cheese that is perfect for salads, pizzas, and appetizers. The cheese is made from raw milk, which is rich in enzymes and nutrients that are lost during the pasteurized process. This cheese has a delicate and buttery flavor and a soft and creamy texture. It is a perfect snack for cheese lovers who are looking for a healthier alternative to store-bought cheese. You can also customize the recipe by adding herbs or spices, making it a versatile and flavorful cheese perfect for all occasions.

Instructions

1.	Dissolve citric acid in 1 cup of cool water and set aside.
2.	Pour the milk into a large pot, add in the dissolved citric acid and mix thoroughly.
3.	Heat the mixture for about 10-15 minutes until the temperature reaches around 90°F.
4.	Add rennet to 1/4 cup cool water and mix well. Add to the mixture and stir for around 30 seconds.
5.	Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to rest for 10-15 minutes until it forms curd.
6.	Using a curd knife or long knife, cut the curd into 1-inch pieces and let rest for 5 minutes.
7.	Place the pot back on the stove and heat at medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir gently.
8.	Drain the whey and transfer the curd to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Mix and microwave again for 30 seconds.
9.	Add salt and mix well. Gently stretch and fold the cheese to create a smooth texture. Submerge in cold water for a minute. Squeeze out excess water and stretch it one more time. Serve or place in the fridge for later use.
