Homemade Feta

I made Feta out of 1 gallon of Milk and received 1lb and 10 3/4 oz of Feta.

After cutting the curd

Cooking the curd, see all the extra whey.

Pressing my Feta and drain pan set up.
Does anyone know where I can find a square mold?  I kept my cheese cloth wrapped around my cheese and flipped it 3 times.

Weighing in at 1lb 10 3/4 oz
I brined it whole for 3 days and then cut it into 4ths to help the brine penetrate to create crumbly goodness.
I think I am going to cut the feta into smaller cubes.  It is delicious but still creamy inside.  The creamy-ness is not a down side but I do like the texture it is forming on the outside with the crumbly nature that the brine is giving it.

 We tried it on homemade pizza tonight and was rewarded!

Homemade Sour Cream


Okay most times if you make it yourself it is cheaper so therefore worth the effort with yummier results.  This time it is definitely one of those times.
$3 of milk = half gallon of sour cream!
