HOMEMADE FETA CHEESE

🧀 HOMEMADE FETA CHEESE! Better Than Store-Bought and Ready in Just 10 Minutes!

If you love feta cheese but don’t love the high price or preservatives in the store-bought version, you’re going to fall in love with this quick and easy homemade feta cheese recipe. It’s creamy, rich, and full of flavor — and you only need a few simple ingredients you probably already have at home! No fancy equipment, no long waiting times — just pure, delicious cheese ready in minutes.

Forget everything you thought you knew about cheese-making — this one is so simple that anyone can do it! Once you try it, you’ll never go back to store-bought again. Let’s make it together! 💛

🥣 Ingredients for the Cheese:

• 2 liters milk (whole milk gives the creamiest texture)
• 40 ml vinegar (white vinegar or apple cider vinegar)
• 50 g butter (unsalted)
• Dried, ground Provençal herbs — to taste (you can use oregano, thyme, basil, and rosemary)

🥗 Ingredients for the Salad:

• 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 tomato, diced (optional but delicious!)
• A few olives for garnish
• Olive oil and a pinch of salt to taste

👩‍🍳 How to Make It:

1. Heat the milk.
   Pour 2 liters of milk into a large pot and warm it over medium heat. Don’t let it boil — just heat it until it’s steaming hot.
2. Add vinegar.
   Slowly pour in the vinegar while gently stirring. You’ll notice the milk starting to curdle almost immediately — that’s the magic happening! The curds (solid part) will separate from the whey (liquid).
3. Strain the curds.
   Line a strainer or colander with a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Pour the curdled milk through it, letting the liquid drain out.
4. Add butter and herbs.
   Once most of the liquid has drained, transfer the curds into a bowl. Add softened butter and Provençal herbs, mixing gently until creamy and aromatic.
5. Shape your cheese.
   You can press it into a small mold or simply roll it into a log. Place it in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.

And that’s it — your fresh homemade feta cheese is ready to enjoy! 🧀✨

🥒 Serving Suggestion:

Dice your feta and toss it into a refreshing salad with cucumber, tomato, olives, and a drizzle of olive oil. Sprinkle a bit of oregano on top, and you’ll have the perfect Mediterranean side dish that tastes like summer on a plate.

This cheese also melts beautifully — perfect for sandwiches, baked dishes, or served warm over roasted vegetables.

💡 Tips:

• Use fresh whole milk for the best texture and flavor.
• If you prefer a saltier feta, you can sprinkle some salt over the curds before refrigerating.
• For a tangier flavor, let your cheese rest in the fridge overnight before serving.
