Homemade Feta Cheese without using a Culture​

This simple and quick homemade feta cheese can be rustled up in no
time. It is a useful recipe if you need something salty to add to a
dish.

Ingredients​

• 2L Milk
• ½ Cup White Vinegar
• Pot to heat the milk
• Sieve or Colander
• Muslin Cloth or Cheese Cloth
• Garlic & Herb Seasoning (or experiment with other options)
• Salt
• Fridge storage container

Instructions​

1. 1. Heat the milk on your stove. Do not let the milk boil. When little bubbles form around the edges, your milk is warm enough.
   2. Switch off your stove and pour ½ a cup of vinegar in the pot of milk.
      With a wooden spoon, stir the vinegar in. Do not stir vigorously. Just
      give it a little swirl so that the vinegar is pushed around the pot.
   3. Leave the vinegar and milk mixture for about 20–30 minutes. It will cool down and separate.
   4. Line a sieve or colander with muslin cloth and either place it over a
      large pot or in the sink. Pour the milk and vinegar mixture into the
      cloth and let it drain for about an hour.
   5. Once drained, place the cheese into a mixing bowl.
   6. Add a teaspoon of garlic and herb seasoning and a teaspoon of table
      salt. Use a fork to break up the cheese and mix in the seasoning. After
      it has been mixed well, taste the cheese. I usually add a bit more salt
      and mix again. I continuously taste the cheese until it tastes as salty
      as store-bought feta.
   7. Move the cheese into your fridge container. I press the cheese down into
      the container with a fork so that it forms a solid block. I then use a
      knife to shave off crumbly bits and sprinkle them over my salads or
      sandwiches.

Can I ask , have you actually made that.

I make homemade fetta and also ricotta cheese .
I'm asking because I think those herbs are way too much.

 

[Thatimetat]

it would seem that it would be very difficult to do this at home, but I was so mistaken before
