Ingredients
- 600 g Buttermilk
- 1.5 g Salt
- 1 g Caraway seeds
Method
- Warm the buttermilk gently to just below body temperature, then pour it into a clean jar, cover loosely, and leave at room temperature for 2 days to sour and thicken further, until it separates into curds and whey.
- Line a colander with muslin or a clean thin cloth, pour in the soured buttermilk, and let it drain for several hours, or overnight in the fridge, until a soft, crumbly curd is left.
- Turn the curd into a bowl, season with the salt and caraway seeds, and work it together with a spoon until smooth and spreadable, adding a splash of the reserved whey if it is too stiff.
- Press the cheese into a small dish or shape into a flat round, cover, and leave in the fridge for a day so the flavor develops; it can also be left to firm up and dry a little longer, up to a couple of weeks, turning it now and then, for a firmer, more pungent cheese.
- Serve thinly spread on dark bread, traditionally with a drizzle of oil and raw onion rings on the side.
