Gut Instinct Protocol: The Power of Fermented and Cultured Foods

Creamy, tangy and irresistibly herby, this simple cultured cheese is gut health at its most delicious.

This Milk Kefir Cheese with Garlic and Herbs is proof that simple food can still be packed with flavour. Thick, creamy, and full of probiotic goodness, it’s made by straining milk kefir into a luscious, spreadable cheese that feels a little bit fancy but couldn’t be easier. The garlic and herbs add a savoury kick, while the natural tang of kefir brings depth and balance. It’s the perfect thing to have on hand, for spreading, dipping, dolloping, and impressing everyone who tastes it.

It reminds me of goats cheese without the funk. I know most people enjoy goats cheese but I am a bit fussy on the brand of goats cheese, and actually dislike some, so this is kind of a revelation. If you are in that camp too, time to join the Gut Instinct Protocol: The Power of Fermented and Cultured Foods course and get your cheese happening.
