  • Use this healthy cheese in your recipes to make them high in protein and add amazing flavor.
  • If using a high-power blender, the mixture will grind well, resulting in a solid cheese block; otherwise, you may need to add a little water.

  • Let the citric acid and baking soda solution rest after mixing.
  • Grease the container before transferring the cheese mixture for setting.
