How to make Colby Cheese

Colby cheese is similar to cheddar cheese but does not undergo the cheddaring process. Considered a semi-hard cheese, Colby is softer, moister, and milder than cheddar because it is produced through a washed-curd process: the whey is replaced with water during the cooking time, reducing the curd's acidity and resulting in Colby's characteristically mild flavour.

These are amazing easy to watch and very educational. Being in an extremely technical profession, I noticed that your drain area for your sink has ridges. If you move the press back far enough, you can balance against the wall and on one of the grooves and not have to tilt to drain the pressed out whey. I know, it's an affliction.

@johncspine2787 2 года назад

I used a second basket to rescue an overage, my yield from the 2 gallons of raw milk was great, it all wouldn’t fit, so, I pressed the first stage, then I put them together, just stacked the little one on top..it was a little tall, but no way was I throwing out those curds! I redressed, flipped, and pressed at the heavier weight for 12 hours and it looks fine..a Farmhouse Cheddar w saffron..the curds are a pale, pale saffron, almost like scrambled eggs in the light of a beautiful sunrise..

@johncspine2787 2 года назад

Yield from two gallons of raw milk was 1138g or 2lb, 8.2oz before drying..

@craiggerlach5548 8 месяцев назад

Back in the 1990s I was in the town of Colby WI and stopped at a local bar there, old timers were all upset that the government killed colby. They said the cultures lived in the concrete vats and that they passed new laws requiring them to use stainless steel vats. They said their ancestors brought over a living piece of concrete from Europe and used it to create the cultures living in the new concrete vats built in what became Colby WI.. And that was how they could replicate the cheese every batch as the cultures lived in the concrete. They said all cheese called colby after the new law is not real colby, it is a similar process, but not the same cultures... I sat n had a few with the old timers since my mother's side was all into dairy and cheeses and I hand made the curds when I was younger for a summer job at a local cheese house. Colby should be called 'Colby' since not the same process, not the same cheese, according to the relatives of the original cheese makers.

@grantgalloway833 3 года назад

I've asked you about this before. I'm from Canada and worked, retired now, for the old kraft foods. My expertise is kraft slingles not natural cheese although I have knowledge, it was my key ingredient for a singles. As a kid I remember colby being a crumbly fresh cheese. It was like eating small slightly cured cheese curds. The best part of colby. I can only speculate the cheesemakers didn't press the curds enough to neat the the curds. Your thoughts. Today's colby is all neat together.

Yes, that is probably what they did.

@wabash1581 3 года назад

I always think, This is the cheese I will make, every video. I watched a lot of Bob Ross growing up, and thought the same thing about following a painting as well. I find more joy in cooking, than painting. I want to try my hand at making a few cheeses, it might teach me patience. Or at least what most cheeses taste like right out of the press! Lol, bad, I assume bad. I never realized how difficult getting specific milks can be. I live in Ohio, USA and raw milk sales are illegal here. I realize you are not using raw milk, and can't get any in your state either. Have you ever made cheese with raw milk? If so how did it compair to similar cheese you made with pasteurized cheese? I apologise if you have already answered this question, and for the long comment. Hope you are having a good day!

@dianacoburn8269 3 года назад

Hello Gavin, I was hoping you could answer a couple of cheese culture questions for me. I read your article on making cheese making cultures. I would be making the cultures and freezing them for later use. I need to know if I freeze in 1 ounce cubes how many cubes would equal a pack or 3/4 tsp of mesophilic culture and should I bring the frozen culture to room temperature before making the cheese or do I add it to the pot frozen?

Gavin, there is a high fat cheese/butter spread that is a huge favorite from the Balkans all the way to Pakistan. It goes by various spellings, but sounds something like KAYMAK. Really big in Serbia. There are videos on RU-vid on this. There is quite a bit of variation in the recipe. Please, if you please, research KAYMAK.

@MrJoshuaKellar 13 дней назад

I’m BRAND new to cheese making. I’ve been watching videos and gathering supplies. The basket that came with my press is 1.3liters. Will this be big enough for this recipe? Can the recipe be halved if needed? Also, if I have double-strength rennet, can this just be halved as well and get the correct amount? Thanks so much for your videos. They’re so clear and fun to follow. I can’t wait to see how my first cheese turns out!

@GavinWebber 13 дней назад

Hi Joshua, Yes, I think the basket is big enough. Yes, just halve the amount of rennet you have.

I made this last night but only got half the amount of curd. My pressed cheese looks like one of the baskets before you pressed them together. Will the thinness of it affect the ripening period, or do I follow everything just the same. I used a 65mm baskets so it’s still quite a big round just thin.

I would love to ask how much this recipe would be changed if I were to make this cheese with unpasteurized raw milk? And can one day anything general about how raw milk will alter recipes? I've hear that you'll need less culture, rennet while calcium chloride is likely not needed. Probably a too complicated question. Anyhow, thank you so much Gavin. I live in Myanmar where the civil war is doing nothing good for a cheese tradition that doesn't exist. My aim is to do something about this.

Use about 25% less rennet, 50% less culture, but I would still add the CaCl2 to the milk.
