Instructions:
In a large pot, heat the milk over medium-low heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Once the milk is simmering, add the lemon juice or vinegar and continue to stir gently. You’ll start to see the milk curdle and separate into curds and whey.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the curds to fully separate from the whey.
Line a colander with cheesecloth and place it over a bowl to catch the whey. Carefully pour the curds into the colander, allowing the whey to drain away.
Add the chopped olives to the curds and mix well. If desired, season with salt to taste.
Gather the edges of the cheesecloth and twist them together to form a ball of cheese. Squeeze out any excess liquid.
Place the cheese ball on a plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Once chilled, your homemade cheese with olives is ready to enjoy! Serve it on crackers, bread, or alongside your favorite dishes for a burst of flavor.
