Making Gamalost in Creswell Oregon June 1999  
  Soured skim milk is poured into an cast iron kettle.
   The sour milk is heated to 140 degrees. I used skim milk from Lochmead Dairy Mart because they have returnable jugs.
 {short description of image}  The milk soon forms an elastic, somewhat stringy, mass which is removed with a strainer and placed in a form with holes for whey to drain out.
 {short description of image}  The cheese is ready to age. The fresh cheese has little taste. The whey is boiled down to make mysost.
