Instructions for Making Feta Cheese

Add Vinegar and Rennet
Remove the pot from heat, and gently stir in the white vinegar. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow curds to form. Add the rennet diluted in water and stir gently.

Cut and Drain the Curds
Once the curds have set (about 30 minutes), cut them into small cubes with a knife. Let them sit for 5 minutes, then gently scoop them into a cheesecloth-lined colander to drain.

Press the Curds
Gather the corners of the cheesecloth and twist to form a pouch. Press down to remove excess whey, then allow it to drain for 1-2 hours.

Salt the Cheese
Once drained, transfer the curds to a bowl and crumble them. Add salt gradually, mixing well to incorporate.
- 6
Mold the Cheese
Pack the crumbled cheese into a mold or container, pressing down to eliminate air pockets. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before use.
