Product Description

Yogurt Cheese is a creamy cheese product produced when the whey is drained from yogurt. With a higher concentration of nutrients after the whey is removed, yogurt cheese provides a creamy smooth cheese that is low in calories, sodium, lactose, and cholesterol. Yogurt cheese made from plain yogurt has a mild flavor, which is similar to cream cheese or sour cream. As it quickly takes on the flavor of the food it is mixed with, yogurt cheese can be blended into jam, jelly, spreadable fruit, or peanut butter to be served as a spread for bagels, English muffins, or toast.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent idea, July 8, 2009

This cheese bag works really well and saves messing about with cheese-cloth and bits of string. I was a bit worried about the size, but it is fine for curds from a gallon of milk. It also cleans up well (they say not to use soap) and just needs a quick soak in boiling water before you use it. I recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful for thickening yogurt., May 20, 2009

I make yogurt and like to thicken it without using gelatin. I fasten this bag to my yogurt container with a rubber band and suspend it over an empty bowl, over night in the fridge. I used to use cheese cloth but this bag is much sturdier and can be reused indefinitely, with cleaning between uses of course. I'm sure if left to drain longer it makes yogurt cheese, I'm just not into it.

I just made some good cheese with it. It works, it gets the job done. I haven't compared it with other cheese bags but it seems quite sturdy and survived my washing machine just fine - it seems to be a little tougher than a typical article of clothing.

Design-wise it's just right, no frills and nothing fancy, but using a bag instead of loose cloth solves a few problems cheese-wise. You can just pour the curds in and not worry about spillage.
