Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Colander
  • 100% cotton cheesecloth (or finely woven cloth as an alternative)
  • Large bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 quarts goat milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon chevre culture
  • 1 teaspoon salt optional

Instructions
 

  • Warm the goat milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 86°F. Once heated, remove the pan from the stove.
  • Sprinkle the chevre culture evenly over the milk's surface and let it rest for 2 minutes. Then stir the culture thoroughly into the milk to combine.
  • Cover the pan and allow the milk to sit undisturbed at room temperature (72°F) for at least 12 hours so it can thicken.
  • Prepare a colander lined with a layer of cotton cheesecloth and set it over a large bowl. Gently ladle the thickened milk into the lined colander.
  • Let the mixture drain for approximately 8 hours. Gather the edges of the cloth and gently press to release any remaining liquid.
  • Transfer the curds into a container. If desired, stir in the salt for added flavor. Cover the container and refrigerate.

Notes

  • To add variety, mix in finely chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or oregano after draining, though this would technically extend beyond strict carnivore guidelines.
  • Finely woven cloth can replace cheesecloth if needed.
