How did I and my family get into raising our own raw dairy? What’s the “magic” of culturing dairy and making cheese? Why is homemade cultured dairy so healthy? How is every cultured dairy or cheese recipe the same — just tweaks of the same basic process? What’s the best milk for culturing? How can culturing go wrong? All that and more on today’s episode of Know Your Food with Wardee.
