Aged Raw Vegan Cheese?

[rawviveyourself]

I had a delicious cheese at PF&W once and just saw in Sarma's latest book that she uses Dr. Cow, so I ordered some. YUM!!!

Does anyone know how to make this cheese that is aged 3 months? I saw Chef Leah at Grezzo ages theirs for 5 days. Just wondering what would need to be involved for a longer aging process. I'll also try using chia as an earlier post suggested, but I'd really like to get that hard, aged texture and tang.

If anyone can share a recipe, please do! Thanks!:)

I think the fellas at Dr. Cow have top-of-the-line equipment and moreover have a top secret process that leads to the amazing quality of their cheeses. I've yet to try them but boy do they look yummiful.

Oooh, thank you for this. I had never heard of this company. The hardest two things two give up are cheese (feta and extra sharp cheddar were my addiction) and crackers/chips (I need the crunchy). This find makes me very happy!! Thanks again! :D

I've never made aged nut cheese, but I suppose that it can be done the traditional way by storing it wrapped in bandage/paraffin in a cool place. I guess vacuum seal bags could work as well, but I'd be a bit worried about the plastic being toxic.

hmmm...i think i will try a basic nut cheese recipe, use probiotics and chia and then use the vacuum sealer....if that doesn't work, maybe i'll look into a cheese press and wax, but i don't think those will be necessary...we'll certainly see!!

since this will take three months - i'll post up later how my experiment turns out...

Yeah, it's better to use the easier methods when experimenting.
I hope you report your results back here, even in case of failure. Good to know which things not to bother trying. :)

[rawviveyourself]

Yes, Seven, I will make sure to post up here no matter what the outcome.

Even if it is a great big FAIL. :D

(but I hope not)
