Farmer cheese

Okay kiddo, so let's talk about farmer cheese!
It's kind of like regular cheese, but it's made in a different way. First, a farmer takes some milk from a cow or a goat or a sheep. Then they heat up the milk and add something called "rennet" which helps it turn into cheese.

After they add the rennet, they wait for the milk to get thick and curdled. Then, they scoop the curds into a cloth or a strainer and let it drain out for a while. This makes it more solid.

After that, they might mix in some salt or other flavors to make it taste yummy. And then finally, they shape it into round disks or blocks, and people can eat it on crackers or use it in recipes.

So, in summary, farmer cheese is cheese that is made by heating up milk, adding rennet to make it curdle, draining the curds, adding flavors, shaping it, and then eating it!
