Fresh, sweet buttermilk is best for this. If you like, mix it with about one third fresh-strained or skimmed sweet milk.
Stir gently from the bottom the whole time, from the moment you set the pot over the heat.
When the mass in the pot comes to a boil, lift the cheese out into a colander, unless you wish to keep it in the whey. In that case, just twirl it really fine with a whisk stick.
Place the cheese in a fine sieve, or hang it in a linen bag, so the whey drains off really well.
The next day, put it in a dish and work it well, either with a mallet or with your hands, until it is really fine.
Lay a clean white cloth over it together with a woollen cloth, and set it in a warm place to ferment. Knead it 1 to 2 times a day for 3 to 4 days.
Once it has finished fermenting, knead the cheese with a little salt and caraway until you find it well flavoured. The cheese can either be packed into a small crock or shaped into small cheeses.
The whey — with or without cheese — is now boiled down quickly, and as it thickens you stir it diligently. If you finally treat it to a little sweet cream, it turns out that much the better. You should add sugar so it becomes sweet.
When it is like a thin porridge, ladle it out — stamping it now and then to make it finer. It is then shaped into cheeses or pressed into moulds.
