un cuore di formaggio

a heart of cheese

homemade kefir cheese (with dukkah and cacao nibs)

The original plan was to post the details of how to make the heart-shaped cheese (formaggio a forma di cuore) above today, but I had and have other tasks to attend to and so, in the meantime, I am sharing a photo to whet your appetite (far venire l'acquolina in bocca).

And since today is heart day, here is another heart-shaped cheese from last year

homemade French neufchâtel cheese

You can see other heart-shaped dishes on the Valentine hearts page of Very Good Recipe.

Happy Valentine's Day!
