After letting the curds settle on the bottom of the pot, I drained the whey and then pressed the curds into a slab, which I then moved onto a board for cutting. Whey is slowly oozing from underneath.
The cheese of the photo is currently in its aging phase. I hope to feature it in an upcoming post, so I won't reveal its name quite yet.
This is my submission to week #3 edition of Black and White Wednesday – A Culinary Photography Event, recently launched by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook.
The photo was shot in color and then converted to black and white.
This post contains the gallery of photos submitted to the event.
I am convinced you make some magic with cheese as well. Black and white suits it perfectly.
Beautiful B&W photo. I look forward to reading about your new cheese-making process.
I have only ever attempted paneer and ricotta cheese but am inspired to create more.
What a shot! The textures are amazing. Thanks, Simona, for sharing this fine image
with BWW Food.
Wow!!!! Bellissima fotografia 😀
baciussss
The texture of the cheese in this photo is simply beautiful, but I suspect that the cheese itself will be even more exquisite. I look forward to your post about it, but in the meanwhile I may just have to try your homemade ricotta recipe.
Can’t wait to see what this cheese becomes. Terrific shot.
foto e soggetto ben fatti, lasciamo che il soggetto stagioni e sarà ancora meglio…..scappo devo girare la besciamella…..work in progressssssssss ^ _ ^

Ciao Caffettiera and thanks for the kind words. We’ll taste the cheese fairly soon.
Ciao Paz. Keep your fingers crossed that the result is good.
Ciao Val. I encourage you to do it: it’s rewarding.
Ciao Susan. It was one of those moments. I put the slab on the board and grabbed the camera. A few seconds later, it was no longer as strong an image.
Ciao Ale: grazie!
Ciao Duespaghetti. I have been making cheese for some time now, but I still feel like every step of the process is a bit of magic. I hope you try.
Thanks, Haalo.
Ciao Marta. Manca ancora una settimana e poi potremo saggiare il risultato. Ho visto il messagggio. Ti rispondo presto 🙂
Ciao brii. Ho creato un bel po’ di aspettativa con questa foto. Spero che la prima fetta non deluda.
