Homemade Goat Cheese (Extra Creamy with Fresh Herbs)

This version is slightly richer and more indulgent, with the addition of cream and the option to infuse the milk with fresh herbs. It’s simple, deeply nourishing, and feels like something pulled straight from an old farmhouse kitchen.

Prep

15m

Ingredients

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

Pour the goat milk and cream into a heavy-bottomed pot. If using fresh herbs, add them now to infuse the milk as it warms.

1/2 gallon Whole goat milk

1 cup Cow’s cream

Fresh herbs

Step 2

Place over medium-low heat and slowly bring the mixture up to 180°F, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. If you added herbs, remove them once the milk reaches 180°F.

Step 3

Continue heating slightly further to 185°F, then turn off the heat.

Step 4

Stir in the white wine vinegar. The milk should immediately begin separating into curds and whey.

1/4 cup White wine vinegar

Step 5

Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for about 10–15 minutes so the curds can fully form.

Step 6

Line a colander with cheesecloth (or a thin kitchen towel) and place it over a bowl. Pour the curds and whey into the cloth.

Step 7

Let the cheese strain for about 10 minutes for a soft, moist, spreadable texture. Drain longer if you prefer a thicker cheese—this will also depend on the thickness of your cheesecloth. When you strain longer, it becomes dryer and more crumbly.

Step 8

Transfer the cheese to a bowl and gently mix in the sea salt.

1/4 tsp Sea salt

For

M

I

1/2

gallon

Whole goat milk, high fat preferred; raw or low-temp pasteurized is best, but standard pasteurized works

1

cup

Cow’s cream, or heavy whipping cream

1/4

cup

White wine vinegar

1/4

tsp

Sea salt

Fresh herbs, optional: thyme, rosemary, basil, etc.

Notes

The added cream creates a smoother, richer final texture. | Herb infusion adds a subtle depth—remove before curdling for a clean finish. | Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5–7 days.
