Neufchâtel and cream cheese : farm manufacture and use by Matheson and Cammack

The genial sultan; The princess who could not see; Late for the coronation is a government agricultural bulletin written in the early 20th century. It is a practical guide to making soft cheeses—especially Neufchâtel and cream cheese—on the farm, with advice on equipment, packaging, marketing, and everyday culinary use. The bulletin explains the characteristics and food value of these fresh cheeses, then gives step-by-step methods for production: starting with clean, fresh milk; using starters to control acidity; standardizing fat (about 6 percent for cream cheese); pasteurizing when marketing; and coagulating with rennet or pepsin. It covers draining curd in cloth, optional cooling, pressing to target yields, salting and working to a smooth texture, and adding flavors such as pimiento, olives, or Roquefort. Detailed guidance is provided for molding and wrapping using simple chopper attachments, expected yields per 100 pounds of milk, shelf life at cool temperatures, and small-scale cost-and-return estimates. A practical equipment list and a concise process summary are included, followed by an extensive recipe section showing how to use these cheeses in salads, sandwiches, vegetable and egg dishes, cereals, sauces, and desserts.
