Cheese Curd-A Taste of Hearth Cooking

The first step in the preparation of the receipt (recipe) Cheese Loaves is to take cheese curd.  The fresh cheese was prepared by making a rennet tea from a piece of a processed rennet stomach.  The fresh milk was heated to blood warm, rennet tea added, the curd cut and then heated in the whey until the curd squeaked between the molars of your teeth.  The curd and whey was poured through a linen cloth covering a cheese basket and then tied in the cloth for whey to continue to drip away.  The curds are just separated with hands for this receipt.
