Pour 1/2 gallon of raw milk into a large pot (Dutch oven).

Heat the milk on medium-low (setting 4) until it reaches 115°F (46°C), stirring to heat evenly.

Add 7 tablespoons of white distilled vinegar to the milk and stir for about 35 seconds.

Cover the pot and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow curds to form.

Gather the curds with a spoon and squeeze them together.

Transfer the curds to a bowl and squeeze out excess whey.

Reheat the curds to 160°F (71°C) using a microwave for 30 seconds, then check the temperature and stretch the curds.

Continue microwaving in 25-30 second intervals until the curds reach 160°F.

Stretch and shape the cheese into a ball.

Cool the cheese in cool water for about 10 minutes, then add ice cubes and let it sit for another 5 minutes.

Pat the cheese dry with a paper towel and wrap it for storage.
