Yogurt Cheese
- 1 quart Full Fat Yogurt (Balkan Style Is My Favourite)
- Only pure, full fat yogurt will work.
- Reduced fat yogurts contain fillers such as cornstarch that prevent the yogurt form releasing its water.
- Empty the yogurt into a sieve lined with a clean cotton/linen dishtowel or 3 layers of cheesecloth.
- Lightly cover the yoghurt with the ends of the dishtowel.
- Suspend the sieve over a bowl, and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.
- The longer you drain it, the firmer the final product.
- Pour away the whey (its great for protein drinks!)
- that collects in the bottom of the bowl as many times as is necessary.
- Stir up the yogurt once or twice during draining to speed up the process.
- The yogurt will lose up to half its original weight.
- Store, refrigerated, in a covered container for up to 5 days.
