May 26 – Feta Mistake
I made Feta back on May 10th when I made Cheddar and Ibores. It was looking good as I brined it for 8 hours in a heavy brine. When I took the Feta out it was nicely salty and crumbly in a good way. The Feta was to age in a less salty brine but I didn’t have time to make it up so I poured off half the brine and mixed in fresh water. This was my mistake! As I look at the Feta today, it is in a creamy bath of thick milk. It appears that the water pulled apart the cheese. I’m not sure what to do next…
