There have been a few changes around the Curd-Nerd household lately. One of which has allowed me to spend a little more time on my home cheese making.

Today’s post is a short and sweet one, but hopefully also helpful in adding to your home cheese making repertoire.
Curd-Nerd has added 3 new soft cheese recipes to the recipe list for you to try your cheese making hand at.
