Heidi,
Unfortunately you can not successfully make Mozzarella from goats milk - it
will always be like a rubber ball.
The proteins in goats milk are different than cow's milk and do not allow it
to stretch properly.
I took at class at Zingerman's creamery in Ann Arbor, MI and it was
explained very well (scientifically). I believe the protein structure is a
shorter chain in goat milk (not positive on specifics).
I have made great Feta, Ricotta, cottage, cheddar, etc.
I have Nigerian Dwarf doe kids for sale if you are interested. They are
from superior milking pedigree.

Hi,
I am from Tioga County PA. I am planning on getting my own goats in the
spring but have been using raw goats milk for a couple of months now. I am
mostly trying for cheese at this point. My question is for those of you who
do make cheese from raw goat milk. I can make chevre fine, but mozzarella
eludes me. I have found a couple different recommendations for the
mozzarella, but they all call for pasteurized milk, which I would prefer not
to do. Any suggestions would be great.
Thank You.
