Gavin, I love your cheese making videos. I have a question about the cream cheese. At the end, you add salt. If the cheese is intended for use in sweet desserts, would you still add salt?
Or would you just not add any more salt to the rest of the recipe?
Also, does goat or sheep milk work as well for this cheese as cow’s milk does?
Thanks in advance for answering all my questions!

Hi Lora,
You can omit the salt if you wish if using straight away for a dessert. If keeping it in the fridge for a few days, it’s best to add a teaspoon of salt to act as a preservative.
This cheese made with goat’s milk is called Chevre. You can also make with sheep milk, but not sure what it’s called, and it will be more creamier due to a higher fat content.
