Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Milk

    In a large pot, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it reaches about 85°C (185°F), stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.

  2. 2

    Add Lemon Juice

    Remove the pot from heat and slowly stir in the lemon juice. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the curds to form.

  3. 3

    Strain the Curds

    Line a colander with cheesecloth and pour the curds and whey into it. Allow the curds to drain for about 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Mix in Salt and Oregano

    Transfer the drained curds to a bowl. Add salt and dried oregano. Mix well to combine.

  5. 5

    Shape the Feta

    Transfer the mixture to a container, pressing it down to eliminate air pockets. Drizzle with olive oil on top.

  6. 6

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
