Add the mesophilic ferment and the calcium chloride. Stir gently.
Cool the milk to 30ºC. Add the rennet. Stir gently.
Cool for an hour.
Cut the curd with a sanitized knife into small dices, the size of a grain of rice. Let it rest for 20 minutes to allow the whey to separate.
Blanch in ½ water litre. Let it rest for half an hour.
Place the curd in a cheese mold wrapped with a special cheese cloth.
Press the mold with 1 kilogram weight with the curd for 1 hour. Remove the cheese and the cloth. Place the cheese again in the mold. Leave it pressed with 3 kilograms of weight for 24 hours.
Remove the cheese from the mold and immerse it in brine for 4 hours.
Air out the cheese for 5 days.
