Finnish squeaky cheese with Ripe cloudberry
Heat the milk into a big pot for the hand. Stir well with cheese, salt, if
desired. Now let the mixture cool cool for at least half an hour or longer.
Then cut "cheeses" with a wide knife or a spatula to make the whey

(glued if desired) to peel. You can carefully turn the cheese mass to

Traditionally baked cheese on a wooden plate. Fry the cheesecloth on
the wood chip and peel about a 1 cm thick disc If there is no possibility
of baking in an open flame oven, heat the grill hob very hot.
Eat with Ripe cloudberry jam.
Place the wooden plate first on the bottom of the oven and cook until
the cheese is brown-brown. Then turn around the bread cheese and
