[rgolianeh]

This wax exactly what i was looking for. Thank you YouTube.

[maguiles]

The cheese turned out very good..like a slightly tangy cream cheese..I flavored some with chopped roasted red pepper and it was delicious!

[patrickhenrysghost]

Where do you get the calcium chloride?

[maguiles]

Thank you Keila for the clear,step by step video.I watched it before Christmas,thought you were wonderful and placed my order with Leeners. I am making the cheese today. I'll let you know how it turns out.I also liked your suggestions for seasoning the cheese with herbs and oil.

[KOSTASspear]

This is not Feta is a white mass that resembles white cheese

Sorry, but this is the truth

[telosfd]

@KOSTASspear This is the point how FETA is this white cheese!!!!! And what kind of milk are used to make it.

[Borellistudio]

[panchoskywalker]

Thanks for the video, I'll try it as soon as I get to translate ingredients to spanish, lol. I wanted to ask: How long does it last and how do you keep it? In the fridge?

Beautiful and exceptionally done...what an artist

[yoshidis4]

Hi from Greece, the home of feta cheese

the milk selection is the most tricky part of the process. It is a combination of goat milk and sheep milk, and maybe a little bit of cow milk because cow milk feta is tasteless.

Always use fresh milk and make the pasteurizing process yourself at the spot.

When you do it like that only culture is added and nothing else.

Add a tiny bit of salt on the surface evenly when you strain it.

DO NOT ADD OIL when you store the cheese. Only when you serve it.

[pgpeachess]

this must be almost sweet -unsalted- feta cheese, or you added more salt somewhere (on top of the two teaspoons you mixed in the beginning)?

[Novinte]

Appreciate this.

[Laz321]

I read somewhere that you can use buttermilk as a bacteria culture. Do you think this would work?

[kwpoker]

Yes, Leila, you are lovely and I cannot wait to make this cheese. I pay nearly $8.00 per lb. for name brand feta. OMG! This is a remarkable savings and I'm sure tastes much better. I will use the vegetarian rennet, though. I want to use the whey to make zurek! I bet it will be very good too.

[HowToWithKeila]

@kwpoker I'm so glad you enjoy the video. You can use the whey to make zurek, polenta, bread, mashed potatoes, you name it! Thanks for the nice comment :)

[xondragalvez]

Hi! Are you using goat milk or cow milk? Because I don't know if I can get goat cheese here in Caracas, Venezuela, but I wonder whether it tastes the same done with cow milk. Thank you!

[HowToWithKeila]

@xondragalvez Hi there, I'm using cow's milk, it's hard to find goat's milk. Let me know if you have any other questions - Keila

[xondragalvez]

@HowToWithKeila does it taste the same a goat milk feta cheese?

[HowToWithKeila]

@xondragalvez It will taste great. That's how they make feta cheese on Greece. They use goat's milk

[Watterpolo]

@HowToWithKeila normaly they use a mix out of goat and i think cow milk

[xondragalvez]

@HowToWithKeila thank you!

[Watterpolo]

@xondragalvez it is posibel too friendli greeting from switzerland.

you are so cute and you explain so well

[HowToWithKeila]

@b03shm01 Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed :)

[bulbadox]

It has to be 30% Goat and 70% Sheep whole milk. Good job though, you sort of look like cheese :)

[cheesesleeve]

you're perfect !

[gotosave]

Thank U , I like to try it , but can I use Non - fat milk ?  can it be don without calcium chloride and lipase powder ?

[HowToWithKeila]

@gotosave Hi gotosave, I'm happy you liked the video. Unfortunately you cannot use low fat or non fat milk. It HAS to be whole milk, b/c the cheese needs fat to form into cheese. The Lipase will give the feta cheese its distinctive flavor, so you do need to use the lipase. The only reason for you not to use the calcium chloride is if you are using raw milk, otherwise you need it. Also remember to use Pasteurized milk NOT Ultra Pasteurized. Let me know if you have any other questions, Keila

[gotosave]

Thank U , why we can not use Non -fat milk ?

[MUZIKfactory2]
