Then you separate the whey from the curd with a sieve. You can use a pot, place a pasta strainer on top and inside the strainer, put all the resulting mixture (as tight as you can) into a clean cotton cloth.

You should let the serum drain for about 2 hours.

Then in a container you pour curd and you can season with whatever you want: salt, pepper, bacon, etc., beating vigorously for a few minutes.
