About This Book

A practical handbook compiled from long experience and the methods of skilled dairy-women, presenting clear, stepwise guidance for making and managing cheese. It covers milk handling, rennet and curd formation, pressing and aging, and how pasture, weather, and animal condition affect flavor and yield. Common faults such as whey-springs, holes, splits, blisters, and off-flavors are diagnosed with likely causes and remedies. Emphasis is placed on consistent timing, careful technique, and proper storage to improve quality and increase production from the same quantity of milk.

PREFACE.

If a Dedication, or Introduction to the following Work should be thought necessary, I most humbly, and justly address it to the excellent Dairy-Women, of Great Britain; duly sensible, that from them I received the first hints that led me to the performance, and without whose assistance and encouragement, joined with my own knowledge and experience, I should never have offer’d it to the Public.

The real design of this Work, is to assist those who are not fully acquainted with the most proper methods, necessary to be used in the management of a Dairy; I have made it my endeavour to render every part as plain and intelligent as possible, and am in hopes upon a due Observation of the rules laid down many will find their account in it. It is my sincere wish, that it may be a means of improving the quality, as well as enlarging the quantity of Cheese, through the Kingdom; and become extensively useful to the community in general.

As the Publication of this Work has met with a very ready sale, & been much approved of in general, and many who have carefully apply’d the rules for Dairying therein laid down, have deriv’d great advantage from it, which the Author has by many, been inform’d of; encourages him to print a second Edition, and having omitted the other treatises upon Orchards and Vegetation, in order to bring the price more moderate, hopes that, will cause it to be more read by Dairy-Women, who if they pay a due attention to it, cannot help receiving benefit from the advice it contains.
