Nope. So, I looked for online sources. Well I'm too ummm.... frugal ... to want to spend the shipping on a huge block of curds. That meant making my own curds. So after a bit of research online and a couple of dollars of ingredients, today was the day. <br /><br />I had to guess how much whey to press out and how 'dry' to make the curds. But it was magic - they melted into a ball just like on your video. From 1 gal milk to 1 lb mozzarella in a couple of (relaxed) hours. I flattened out a couple of pieces into approximate rectangles and laid fresh basil leave on it then rolled it up. Next time Prosciutto rolls:)<br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration I'll do this with some frequency.annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-73091014425842253972009-08-13T17:09:26.397-04:002009-08-13T17:09:26.397-04:00Awesome!

Still, I am going to give it a shot in a small batch at home. Thank you so much. Love this site.<br /><br />BTW, totally agree with Chef John about the foie. People should research both sides of an issue before they jump on a bandwagon.

Chef Rahm Fama said he buys Polly-O cheese curds, which might only be available in commercial quantities -- or maybe not. Any supermarket or cheese shop that carries Polly-O should be able to order it for you -- or at least tell you what sizes the package comes in. <br /><br />Claire @ http://culinary-colorado.blogspot.comClaireWalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09795226291784652838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-87772385598277817782009-08-07T15:28:30.029-04:002009-08-07T15:28:30.029-04:00Sounds like a fun thing to try.
