Hi guys,
several days ago I made some coconut milk (from old coconut plus water), put it in the fridge and totally forgot it for a week or so.
Yesterday, I found it and it smelled like cheese. It was all set up in pieces.
I decided to give it a try and so far, so good.
Do you guys eat this?
Over the internet I found articles about culturing coconut milk into cheese but always with the adding of some specific bacterias..
I wonder if that is strictly necessary since it seems it worked very well without anything..

That sounds tasty. Does it digest well for you?

Cool that it worked with old coconuts! I am assuming you have coconuts locally?
I have done this in the past with young coconuts, just mashed up the meat separate from the liquid and added a pinch from a probiotic capsule, "just to be safe"...whatever that means. My assumption was that the coconuts where pretty old and possibly irradiated because they were not organic (this was a long time ago when coconuts were not so frequent at healthier food stores) and might be lacking some of their own awesome bacteria. It worked though, and was kind of a lightly cheesy more firm texture, but really nice because the texture of young coconut is so creamy.
