Finnish Cheese - Squeaky Cheese

Ok, I took beautiful pictures last night of the entire process. Here are just a few of them!

Look what a pretty yellow of the whey after it separates from the curds of the milk!

Gotta pour it out, though. Some people use the whey for breads or
pancakes, so if you want to save it, have a big bowl ready.

Yum! Just got out of the oven. Now to take it out of the pan and enjoy with a nice cup of coffee. Any coffee dunkers out there? The old Finns used to cut it and put little chunks in their coffee. It melts and becomes a soft, chewy piece of DELICIOUS when you eat it that way.

I'll venture to guess those of you who have tasted Finnish cheese before can just taste it when you look at the picture, can't you? I'll bet you also just saw some memories from times you ate the cheese, since it was usually served for pretty special occasions, right?

Awww, memories...sweet memories.



Hold on; I'll be back.
