Alicia left a comment not too long ago, and she included a gem. I’m pulling it out for those of you who make your own cream cheese. I am longing to make some myself, but will have to wait for when we produce our own raw dairy products, either through goat or cow.
I just have to comment to anyone out there making cream cheese from raw milk that using a batch of raw buttermilk makes the best cream cheese. It smells exactly like store bought and tastes maybe a bit milder. I have tried many different ways of doing this as up until recently we were a raw milk dairy. Boy, do I miss my raw milk. Hope this is helpful to someone.
Thank you, Alicia!

Alicia, please describe how you make your cream cheese with buttermilk! I know how to make more buttermilk, but I have never heard of making cream cheese. Thank you -Christina
Yes, please share the cream cheese recipe! I always have raw milk buttermilk on hand and we’re trying to make everything ourselves so the closest I’ve come to cream cheese in quite awhile is lemon cheese. Please share!
