Do you love cheese as much as we do? Then try this simple and delicious recipe with our Nigella Sativa seeds (black cumin seeds). These small, black seeds give the cheese an intense flavor and provide many important nutrients. Perfect for your kitchen!

Ingredients (for approx. 8 people)

• 2 liters of milk
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• A pinch of salt
• Nigella Sativa Seeds (Black Cumin)

Preparation time: about 30 minutes

Preparation

1. Bring milk to the boil

• Pour the milk into a large pot.
• Heat the milk slowly, stirring continuously so that nothing burns.

2. Allow the milk to flocculate

• Once the milk is boiling, remove the pan from the heat.
• Add the lemon juice and continue stirring until the milk begins to curdle. The solid components (protein) separate from the whey.

3. Strain cheese

• Line a sieve with a damp cheesecloth and pour the milk mixture into it.
• You can use the whey that is left over to make quark, for example.

4. Squeeze out cheese

• Gently squeeze the cheese mixture in the cheesecloth. Be careful, the mixture could still be hot!
• The harder you press, the firmer the cheese will be.

5. Refine cheese

• Let the cheese rest for about 1-2 hours so that the remaining whey can drain off.
• You can then refine the cheese with salt and black cumin seeds as desired.

Tips

• You can also use raw milk for an extra authentic taste.
• The leftover whey can be used for other recipes, for example to make quark.

Nigella Sativa seeds, also known as black cumin, are not only delicious but also rich in nutrients. Incorporate them into your recipes and enjoy the intense taste!
