HOMEMADE FETA CHEESE
If you love making homemade cheese, try your hand at feta. The results are well worth the effort. Use goat or cow milk, or even a mixture of both. To serve, remove from brine and allow the cheese to air-dry before serving.

Steps:
- Combine 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon calcium chloride in a small bowl; mix well.
- Combine 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon rennet in another small bowl; mix well.
- Pour milk into a double boiler set over medium-low heat. Heat milk until it registers 86 degrees F (30 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer. Sprinkle cheese culture on the surface. Allow to dissolve without stirring for a few minutes, then stir well. Cover and keep at 86 degrees F (30 degrees C) for 1 hour.
- Pour calcium chloride mixture into the milk; stir for 1 minute. Add rennet mixture; stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Let stand at room temperature until milk sets into curd, about 1 hour. Press edge of the curd gently with a palette knife or the back of a spoon to check for firmness.
- Cut curd all the way to the bottom of the pot into 1-inch squares. Stir gently with a rubber spatula. Let rest, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Stir curds, maintaining temperature at 86 degrees F (30 degrees C), until they sink to the bottom of the pot, about 20 minutes. Scoop out liquid (whey) with a ladle and discard or reserve for another use.
- Line 2 basket-style molds with damp cheesecloth. Ladle curds into the molds with a slotted spoon and cover with ends of cheesecloth. Place one mold on top of the other, pressing lightly. Let drain, switching the molds and stirring curds a few times, until cheese is firm, at least 4 hours.
- Mix 8 cups water, sea salt, 1 teaspoon calcium chloride, and white vinegar together in a large container to make brine. Submerge cheese in brine and let soak, at least 8 hours and up to 3 weeks.

FETA DIP
This is a simple, fresh, and tasty dip. We were initially concerned it would not have enough flavor but boy were we wrong. The feta, tomato, and green onions are a perfect combination placed on top of olive oil. Greek seasoning just enhances the flavor and gives a robust flavor. We loved to soak up the olive oil with the bread...

Steps:
- 1. Cover your platter generously with olive oil.
- 2. Combine diced tomatoes, green onions, and Feta. Add on top of oil.
- 3. Sprinkle with Cavender's. This blend has some salt in it so taste to make sure you have enough but not too much for your family's palate.
- 4. Serve with sliced baguette for dipping. We usually use the baguette to pinch up some of the dip rather than spooning it onto our bread.
