Homemade Cheese Vs. Store Bought Cheese - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Here at Sur la Table we teach a lot of classes on how to make homemade cheese, because most people do not realize that you can make fresh cheeses easily at home. You can make mozarella, goat cheese, ricotta, queso fesco, yoghurt. All of those things you can easily make at home. Now, the benefit to making your cheeses at home versus buying them in a store, is that you have more control over your ingredients. If you have a raw milk supplier, you can use that raw milk and you know exactly where that milk came from. You can use the chemicals that you would like to use. You can use the tartaric acid or the citric acid that you would like to use, that you can purchase from your reliable sources. Store bought cheese often uses milks that are treated with homones and things of that nature. So you just do not have as much control over the ingredients that are going into your cheese.
