Hi everyone! I’m brand new to hard cheeses and about to try Parmesan for the first time. The recipe says to add rennet and lipase once the milk hits temp, but I’m not sure. Do I keep the heat on while it sets, or turn it off and cover?
 
Once you’ve added the rennet and lipase, turn the heat off and cover. The milk needs to sit undisturbed so the curd can form properly.
