My family is wild about Feta cheese. And it’s a good thing that they love it so much, as homemade Feta is easy to make and a great way to use up our excess goat milk. Feta is a rich, delicious cheese that stores for months in a refrigerated salt brine.
I enjoy making Feta cheese. If the recipe is followed carefully and all equipment is sterile, the cheese is very difficult to mess up. The process is fun. Hands-on steps are very satisfying as you watch, feel and smell the cheese beginning to form. The only downside is waiting for the cheese to develop full flavor, which takes a week or two.
