nut cheese
Posted by: quietgrrrl ()

Hello,

I'm attempting to make nut cheese using the recipe in Living Cuisine. The cashew, miso, and water mixture has been sitting in a cupboard that I thought I was warm for about 8 hours. It's not separating and it's not expanding very much, which Loux said it would.

Does the whey necessarily need to separate from the curds before pressing to make the cheese edible? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

I'm not sure about the recipe you used, but here's how I make nut cheese: Soak a few handfuls of nuts (I do sunflower seeds) in water overnight, then rinse and grind up in a food processor. Add a few spoonfuls of rejuvelac, mix, and press down into a container (bowl, tupperware, etc). Cover with cheesecloth, and let sit for about eight hours. My mixtures are pretty dry, so there is no liquid seperating from solids, but it starts to smell fermented, and has a bleu-cheese-ey taste to it. Sometimes there's mold on the top, but I always eat that part too.

I make my cheese with almonds without skin,white, 1 C of almonds, 1/2 C rejuvelac or water and blend it. It had to sit overnight inside of a plastic container that has some holes on it and a cheesecloth. In the morning it is ready and dry.All the water is out,and it's delicious. You can put some celtic sea salt,any herb on it and eat.
