I'll have to check, but as far as i know, no, the milk produced locally
undergoes a "simple" pasteurization procedure. There is UHT
(Ultra High Temperature) milk here, but i suspected all along that i
could not make a decent, if at all, cheese from such milk, thus never
tried it. <br>I know how much "damage" pasteurization can do to
milk, i dont even want to know what happens to it
after subjected to temperatures bordering the 800
degreess. Whatever comes out from that cannot be milk as we know
it.<br>
<br>

<div style="direction: ltr;">Albert - are you using "Ultra-High Pasteurized" milk? If so, you can't<br>get cheese from that, as far as I know.<br><br></div><br>Ok, so here it goes: <br>
Q1: Where can i get my hands on Calcium Chloride, the dry (or solution)
stuff. I want to buy a nice supply since no one seems to
distribute this salt in Puerto Rico nor does any
grocer/supermarket/specialty foods store have plans to do so. I
mean, is hard enough for me to get buttermilk for petes sake!.
Can anyone point me to a nice site where i can buy some?<br>
<br>
Q2: I have been trying to make cheese using active plain yogurt,
as starter, and store bought milk (sadly i can't get my hands on
anything else) Environment temp here is about 85-95 F, i use
rennet tablets, and some calcium chloride. How long should i let
my milk rippen before i add the salt and the rennet tablet? I
seem to be doing something wrong here since all i get for curds is a
soup :(<br>
<br>
