How to Make Feta Cheese (with Cow's Milk)

Do you want to learn how to make Feta cheese? If you're the kind of person who drools at the thought of 2 lb. of salty, creamy, tangy feta cheese ready in your refrigerator to be devoured at any time, read on! Once I learned how to make Feta cheese it never hit my grocery list again. This cheese is easy to make, very economical and get rave reviews from friends and family! Firm, yet flaky, this feta is the showstopper on my lunchtime salads almost every day- and I always have something ready to use on a last minute cheese platter.

Traditional feta recipes use goat’s or sheep’s milk, but this recipe uses cow’s milk. I always try to get the freshest milk possible, and it’s the addition of lipase which creates that signature tangy feta flavor. There’s a saying among cheese makers, “Better milk makes better cheese!”

If you’d like to learn how to make cheese, this easy feta cheese recipe will not disappoint. You can do this!

Happy cheese making!

I just want to thank you for giving us all these wonderful tutorials. I don’t know how you cope with the negativity and pettiness that your free tutorials arouse. I take my hat off to you for your patience, and again, thank you.

This was the best cheese making video that I have ever seen. You have a new fan! I can't wait to try it!

[TaraLavallee-fr]

I wanted to thank you for making such a simple relaxing video that is slow enough for me to obtain the information sometimes people just go through it so quick it makes no sense so I appreciate you thank you

The procedure in this recipe is now my go-to technique for making feta, especially when I have to make several cheeses at the same time. The 5-minute stirring followed by the 20-minute resting (x2) made my cheese making life so much easier. Thanks for this, Lisa! <3

As a cat owner, you know that cats never just watch you work; they are there to supervise and judge you passive-aggressively. Lol

[arshadjafri]

This maybe easier to you but for us it's definitely going to be tougher one. How chill and clam you was throughout with sweet smile, really wonderful to watch you.

I just put this into the brine and it turned out great. We had some in a salad last evening and it was delicious! Thank you for your great instructions. I have a Jersey cow and this was my first attempt at feta. Excited to try some of your other cheese recipes.

This has been an extremely helpful video to watch time and time again. The starter kit I received had no help video or quick tips from that company and gave a very basic recipe. I am so happy that I found you!

Nicely done bravo. I enjoyed your video.

In the 70s as a child I used spend time with my family in the village in the hills above Kalamata in Greece. They used to make feta with goats milk. This organic feta was unbelievably good. The goats ate the natural herbs and grasses on the hills and the milk was heated and processed in big pots over wood fires right there where the goats were milked. They made their own rennet from the stomachs of baby suckling goats before they were eating grass.

There was another cheese that they made it was a very hard dry cheese made from sheep milk and it was grated over pasta dishes, very delicious tasting. In Greece its called Mizithra try it.

Brilliant video and you make it look so easy! Thank-you so much for sharing.

Hand down! I made it following the recipe minus the lipase. First time. I can’t thank you enough. It came out fantastic! And my kids love the cat. We were all mesmerized watching your video. Thank you 😊

[roycefaina]

Thank you for the instruction video. I love your kitty cat, Yum-yum! Love the name too!

[sophiamiller]

Made this as my first attempt at cheese making. Also, I halved the recipe so if I failed then the cost was not so detrimental. I used Strauss Family Creamery Cow milk non homogenized! Followed the instructions exactly however, my water got above 86 degrees so I waited till it cooled down to the desired temp and then added the lipase. This is the best feta cheese I have had! My husband is Greek and he was impressed! Taking some to my mother-in-law & sister-in-law will update with their comments. I am just shocked I actually made feta cheese! Excited to try it with goat’s milk! But trying ricotta next! Thank you for your channel! Very clear instructions! Will recommend to all my friends!

[Najeeb]

Wow the best tutorial so far. Thank you so much.

[halfassacres]

I followed this recipe and the feta turned out excellent. You are the only one I am following now .

[dianacoburn]

You do a wonderful job with your videos. Because of you I started a new cheese making hobby:)

[Boterhammetpindakaas]

This is a nice instruction video! I learned a lot, thank you. Next time I will try one of your recipes

[jackzahran]

Thanks for making a proper cheese and not just hardening milk like I see on so many other YouTube channels

[tahirhodaj]

a year ago I have seen your video
I have made so far 70kg of cheese
I’am really happy. Thanks again

I live in rural China, it can be very challenging to buy decent cheese here. Your videos helps me a lot. Thank you, Lisa and yumyum. Also my cat loves fresh made cheese🤤
