I’ve followed this Oaxaca recipe to the letter a few times with edible results, using raw milk and microbial rennet, but I need to make improvements. How would I firstly impart a slightly more lactic flavour to it? It’s super bland to the point of tastelessness, and I’d like a slight tang.

Secondly, working it in hot water is not as easy as it looks in the many videos I’ve seen of the process. It doesn’t naturally string out, I end up having to squeeze it into ropes and elongate it gently by rolling it between my hands, as even a little pressure pulls it apart rather than it being elastic. Do I just need hotter water and thicker gloves? Or just a better recipe?

Wow, very informative, thank you so much! I’ll report back in a few days after I make another batch.

Try Cambozola, it's delicious and a lot easier to approach than Roquefort.

If you want an entry point, it’s about the easiest one. It is to blue cheese what McDonalds is to hamburgers (no judging, I eat both good and crap versions of everything).
