HOMEMADE FETA CHEESE

Homemade Feta Cheese image

If you love making homemade cheese, try your hand at feta. The results are well worth the effort. Use goat or cow milk, or even a mixture of both. To serve, remove from brine and allow the cheese to air-dry before serving.

Time 14h58m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

½ cup water, divided
1/2 teaspoon calcium chloride
1/2 teaspoon liquid rennet
1 gallon whole milk
1/4 teaspoon feta MT1 cheese culture
8 cups water
5 tablespoons coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon calcium chloride
¼ teaspoon white vinegar

Steps:

Combine 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon calcium chloride in a small bowl; mix well.
Combine 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon rennet in another small bowl; mix well.
Pour milk into a double boiler set over medium-low heat. Heat milk until it registers 86 degrees F (30 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer. Sprinkle cheese culture on the surface. Allow to dissolve without stirring for a few minutes, then stir well. Cover and keep at 86 degrees F (30 degrees C) for 1 hour.
Pour calcium chloride mixture into the milk; stir for 1 minute. Add rennet mixture; stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Let stand at room temperature until milk sets into curd, about 1 hour. Press edge of the curd gently with a palette knife or the back of a spoon to check for firmness.
Cut curd all the way to the bottom of the pot into 1-inch squares. Stir gently with a rubber spatula. Let rest, 5 to 10 minutes.
Stir curds, maintaining temperature at 86 degrees F (30 degrees C), until they sink to the bottom of the pot, about 20 minutes. Scoop out liquid (whey) with a ladle and discard or reserve for another use.
Line 2 basket-style molds with damp cheesecloth. Ladle curds into the molds with a slotted spoon and cover with ends of cheesecloth. Place one mold on top of the other, pressing lightly. Let drain, switching the molds and stirring curds a few times, until cheese is firm, at least 4 hours.
Mix 8 cups water, sea salt, 1 teaspoon calcium chloride, and white vinegar together in a large container to make brine. Submerge cheese in brine and let soak, at least 8 hours and up to 3 weeks.

Time P1D

Yield 1 jar

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 -3 liters fresh goats' milk
1/2-1 tablespoon pitia
1/2 cup warm water
1/2-1 tablespoon salt
water
coarse salt (fine will work too)
1 raw egg, washed thoroughly

Steps:

Begin by making sure that all your utensils, pots and supplies are very clean. Put the milk into a pot over medium heat. Heat it to a low boil, but keep careful that it doesn't scorch. Cook it for about 5 minutes then set it aside to cool down until 'warm to the touch'. Dilute the Pitia in the water and stir it into the warm milk. Stir in the salt and cover the pot with a clean, cloth towel and set it aside to thicken and curdle in a warm place. This can take anywhere from 6 to 12 hours.
Pour the thickened milk into a basket or strainer that has been lined with cheese cloth or fine tulle/netting. Cover the basket with another piece of net to keep the insects off and hang it over a sink, or outside so it can drain thoroughly. Check on the draining cheese. If it seems that the chunks of curd are too big, you can slice through them with a knife to break them up so more of the water will drain out. It takes about a full day for the cheese to drain to 'Feta' consistency, but if you prefer a harder, dryer cheese, you can let it drain longer. You can also weight down the draining cheese with a dish and a heavy rock placed over it to aid in squeezing out more water and will also give you a thicker cheese.
Make the Brine: You will need enough brine to cover the cheese completely so put an adequate amount of water into a pot and bring it to a boil. Boil it for 5 minutes, then remove it from the heat. Add some salt to the water. You will be using the egg as a gauge for the salinity of your brine. Float the egg in the brine. Some of the shell should float above water level, if not, remove the egg and add more salt to the brine. Put the egg back in to test it again. You want 1-2cm of shell to be exposed at the water level. The more shell that floats, the saltier the brine. Keep floating / adding salt until you get the salinity that you want. Cover the brine and set it aside to cool down completely.
Invert the basket with the drained cheese onto a clean work surface and remove the cheese cloth. Cut the cheese into large blocks and put them into a clean and sterile container. Pour the cooled brine over the cheese. Keep in mind that Feta has to be completely submerged in the brine or else it will go bad. Use an inverted plate with a heavy rock placed on it to keep the Feta under the brine level.
