[@happyandfunnybaby2450]

The best way to make feta cheese at home, is with lemon and yogurt, she made with vinegar and in the end she did not washed with cold clean water, to take the bad vinegar smell also kills the bacteria with salt. Like this the feta cheese creates worms

[@Heidi914]

Can’t wait to make this thank you! How long will it keep in the fridge?

[@denisbaker9090]

Somewhat similar to Indian feta. Good one.!

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Thank you for your comment 🙏 Yes, I know Feta originally comes from Greek but this is how they make it in my hometown in Iran, that is why I said inspired by Iranian cuisine. Based on the comments I am getting it is also from Russia and India and it is called something different 😜

[@janedagger]

From Max Miller... the milk is ready at 185 degrees.. then remove from heat. And thank YOu VERY Much Ms Hedyeh... you rock !

[@pennypetrovic3682]

Is that Fahrenheit or celcius

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Thanks for watching! 🙏 ❤️

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Thanks for watching! 🙏 ❤️ And sorry I don't remember what the temp was but just when you see some bubbles add the yogurt and as soon as the milk is about to rise, pour everything else and you should be fine 👌 If you're afraid the milk will rise and spill, as soon as it's rising turn it off, pour everything then immediately turn it back on and steer to center. 👍

[@yash_ar]

Great video! Fun, clean, and to the point 👍 Question can we use white Vinagre instead? Also what can you do with the left over milk water?

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Sorry for delay! Yes you can, and my mom cook rice with the left over milk water and said it's really good, I don't know how much truth is into that! :)

[@blueskye23]

Mmm, I bet it would be good to make sweet rice for dessert. 🤗. Thanks for the good idea and the recipe!

[@XarryKlynn]

Feta is the Greek Opium. As Greeks we can combine EVERYTHING with feta also NO cow milk ONLY goat milk (go full fat), nice and easy recipe

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Thank you for your comment 🙏

[@aidanpoulter9514]

Pls. I wish i had goat milk but if I inky have cow should I add cream or butter for more fat to make it tastier. I can't get raw milk easily in Canada or goats milk and the 'full fat' milk is only 3.75% fat.

[@eri7-11]

wow holy cheese!

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Thanks for watching! 🙏 ❤️

[@77lases]

Wonderful video - thank you! It's so refreshing to have someone to learn from who doesn't over complicate things. Love the simplicity of this technique! So excited to try this!!

[@nathalieevans9912]

Hi Hedyeh, Thank you so much for this recipe. I have been looking for a Iranian Feta recipe for quite a long time and I am glad you shared your video. I had to modify the quantity a little as I used 1800g of milk and 80 g of greek yogurt. Therefore I changed to 1/4 cup of cider vinegar and 1/2 lemon. it is resting now. I see you keep it after in the brine in the fridge. Do you think I could keep it in oil (half olive and half colza) ? with herbs ?

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Hi Nathalie, I'm glad to hear this 🙏 And I'm sorry but I'm not so familiar with the oil part but herbs definitely!

[@Forebiter]

The result makes my mouth water 😍 I wonder if anything will come of using lactose-free and/or skim milk?

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Sorry I have never tried it that way! If you do, let me know the result

[@simplehd4050]

Yes you can from skim milk or the best from farm food market

How pleasant to have come across your channel! I assumed by your name that you were Persian. I also named my daughter Hediyeh. A beautiful name.

[@moustate]

0:30 why the foot on the kitchen table? I am struggling to know why

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

LOL, because I had to adjust my camera higher so that my phone wouldn't heat up and die in the middle of my taping and I frequently had to climb the chair, put my foot on the counter for stability and check if my phone was still recording and somehow I forgot to cut that out!

[@wbey2692]

😂

[@SimSeems]

😂😂 was thinking the same but then I told myself maybe is the 📷

[@moloudshahbazi]

I am glad someone asked and we know the reason! I was also struggling to explain that lol

[@jerryl8569]

My grandma used to make foot cheese as well.

[@magimichel2598]

Lol😂

[@ltpprojects2247]

Hi, love your energy! How long can I refrigerate final product?

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

if you're adding salt to the liquid, you can refrigerate for about 7 days!

[@morningstar_9077]

So nobody's gonna talk about the foot?

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

LOL, I had to adjust my camera higher so that my phone wouldn't heat up and die in the middle of my taping and I frequently had to climb the chair, put my foot on the counter for stability and check if my phone was still recording and somehow I forgot to cut that out! This was the third time taping the video due to phone heat up! I'm learning haha and thanks for watching!

[@whitepearlautodetailing4745]

Great procedure, if I double the milk quantity do I need need to double the venegar & lemon?

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Sorry for the very late reply and yes you do.

[@me7750]

Great video!!! I have a thermometer but what tempters should I boil the milk?

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

I believe I have said that in the video,! 🙏

[@MrNinomino]

thanks

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

You're Welcome and Thanks for watching! 🙏 ❤️

[@redxhotxhair]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Have you made it with sheep's milk before? This is the type my family likes for noon o paneer. Is there much of a difference in taste between cow's and sheep's milk?

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

My pleasure 😊 I have never made with Sheep's Milk, I would suggest googling a recipe for that but I believe It would be the same result! 🙏

[@kimberlypatton9634]

❤️!!!

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Thank you!

[@billysearcy6855]

Another question would be how long to let it sit in the brine to see the benefit of the salt?

[@Avaldivis]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

[@juliegeorge8533]

Do you use all the liquid for storage please? or do you have any left over and if so, can you use it as liquid for bread making? In Ireland we use the leftover milk from butter making (buttermilk) for making wheaten bread, which looks very like the bread in your video. Thanks so much for your video xxx

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Thanks for watching! 🙏 ❤️ Yes there will be left over liquid, I don't know about bread but my aunt told me to use it when making rice and that's what I've been using the left over liquid for! Sorry I can't be helpful with the bread. Let me know if you do make it and if it works! 😊

[@tonytahmasebi1926]

Hi...thanks for your nice gift mis gift.....thanks

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Awww thank you so much 🙏

[@hoq7944]

Do we have to let it sit in the liquid as in alll the time?

[@nonhlanhlamthalane3606]

Thank you so much my dear I will definitely try this, is 1 gallon of milk 8 cups of milk?

[@moeinkomeili76]

1 gallon is 16 cups.

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Hi there, In this video is 1 gallon of milk which is 16 cups, you can also do with 8 cups which is half a gallon but you're just gonna get less cheese out of it!

[@franq7764]

1 gallon of milk have 16 cups of 8 oz each.

[@Ladieexox]

Hii, thank you for your video. I was wondering, is it possible to use almond milk or any other plant based milk?

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Sorry for the late reply! I am sure there is a way, there are many dairy-free yogurts out there but I don't know the process of one! Sorry :(

[@Ladieexox]

@@hedyehskitchen7559 Ok no problem, thank you!

[@chloefox8471]

Sorry, if this is dumb but does the yellow liquid stay at room temperature before adding the cheese or in the fridge?

[@alizajoon]

Hi . Thank you for the recipe. It is awesome!! I just have a question. Can this recipe be used to make Bulgarian feta cheese also? Do you know what is the difference between Persian and Bulgarian feta cheese? Thank you.

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Thanks for watching! 🙏 ❤️ I am not familiar with Bulgarian Feta Cheese but I googled and the different is something about butter milk, Bulgarian yogurt, Rennet Salt and Calcium Chloride, I don't know how it will turn out with those added, but I'm sure mine is similar and just very simple! Sorry I can't be in more help! 😊

[@paso7943]

Thank you...does the milk have to be cow or one can use buffalo or goat...

[@sukhpreetkaur9111]

Can we use red wine or white vinegar instead of apple cider?

[@Anamika_03]

Can we put white vinegar?

[@tonymusolino2369]

Yogurt is the key…i also use yogurt for my chicken kabob…actually it’s tavuk sis. I bring this to every BBQ i go to…always a great hit. But i dont give out my recipe secrets.🤫

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Thanks for sharing that even though you will not share your secret recipe hehe!

[@melissatuchakov4085]

It looks great and easy to make, could I use kefir instead of Yougurt? 🙄

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Sorry I don't know much about Kefir but based on my research, you definitely can! It is actually called "Kefir Cheese" look up some recipes and give it try!

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

I believe it is much easier to make Kefir cheese! I just never had it before!

[@ksweiger]

Couple quick questions please as I'm going to try this out. 1- how long does it take for the cheese to gain that typical feta salty flavor all threw the cheese in the salty brine? 2- how long once it's all completed is this healthy in the frodge?

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Thanks for watching! 🙏 ❤️ I didn't put much salt in it because I don't like it that salty but more salt added to the liquid, longer you can store it for. I use up to 7-10 days. and I would say leave it in the salt water in the fridge for at least 6 hours to soak all that salt water. I have never added salt while boiling, maybe that could be a thing too if you want it very salty! Sorry hope that was helpful. 😊

[@Gasp7000]

That’s amazing! I will be making this SOON! I am also going to try freeze drying it. Is it okay to substitute yogurt with kefir?

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Sorry for the late reply and I do not know anything about Kefir, I would suggest googling to see anyone make it with Kefir. 🙏

[@stephaniep847]

Temperature of the room? Because in the kitchen can be pretty hot

Can I use white vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar??

how big is that bowl, in o or

Where do you store the liquid from the cheese for the 6hrs you are waiting

Does this recipe still work without a feet on the counter?

[@lilyvairagi5677]

Love the easiness of this recipe. I’m wondering if white vinegar could be used instead of apple cider vinegar….?

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Thanks for watching! 🙏 ❤️ I have never done it but google says you can! maybe have some apple cider vinegar on the side, if it doesn't start to mass you can use it but should be fine. 😊 Let me know the result if you do use white vinegar!

[@heffb4496]

I used white vinegar and it turned out good.

[@huseca]

Nice recipe!!! would I get the same result if I use goat milk?? thanks :)

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Sorry I never done it with Goat cheese, but I believe it will work with any type of animal milk! Let me know how it goes if you did it. 🙏

[@queenoflife6641]

Can i make creamy feta dressing for my salad with it??

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

Hi There, sorry I don't know the answer to that but I do put it on my salad. To make it creamier I can suggest not to wrap it very hard so the cheese could be a bit looser.

[@fieldmojo5304]

Was the foot there to add flavor?

[@cywizx]

Can you make mozzarella cheese also? pls make a video. Thanks.

[@hedyehskitchen7559]

I will def look into it! but anyways I also want to make cream cheese, hope you like that one too :)
