===Chef's note===
Most [[cheesemaking]] recipes I have seen mention [pasteurising]] the milk first.  This assumes you have unpasteurised milk which, though better for [[cheesemaking]], can be difficult to obtain unless you have your own dairy. If like me, you are using shop-bought, pasteurised [[milk]], ignore the pasteurising step.  Just start with the milk at 30° C.

If you are using cream, add it with the milk after the pasteurising step (assuming it is already pasteurised). I used double cream, which gives it a really creamy after-taste but single cream would be just as good.  The amount of milk is not overly important either as long as your draining system and mould is large enough.
