Making Raw Milk Mozzarella in Western Massachusetts

I often write about my food experiences with my friend and food writer, Don Lesser who lives in western Massachusetts. The Pioneer Valley is a center for great local produce and food and Don covers this on his blog, Russelnod.  I encourage you to explore it.

Don recently wrote about making raw milk mozzarella and I had the pleasure of tasting the output. Below is a picture of the cheese with local fresh tomatoes and basil that what we shared.

I used have raw milk as child when I visited my cousin’s diary and fruit farm in Oklahoma. She taught me how to hand milk the cows and then we would sample the results. It is good to see more raw milk cheese generally available.  You can also get raw milk from certain farms in western Massachusetts.  Check out Don’s post to discover the process he used for this great cheese.  It is much better than anything you get in a store.

Thank you for linking to Don's blog. I came to your blog to read about portal software, and left with a new foodie to follow! The post was especially timely since we just made our first batch of homemade mozzarella with milk from Lawton's Family Farm in Foxboro.
