How to Make Fetta Cheese In Herb Oil

  1. Cut 250g of fetta cheese into 3cm slices and place them in a large bowl.
  2. Pour 100ml of milk and 50ml of water over the fetta. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Drain the fetta cheese thoroughly and discard the milk mixture.
  4. In a large, sterilized jar (approximately 500ml capacity), layer the drained fetta cheese. Add 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh herbs (such as oregano, thyme, and rosemary), 1-2 small red chilies (finely chopped, adjust to taste), 1 teaspoon of mixed seeds (e.g., fennel, poppy), ½ cup of mixed berries (such as cranberries or blueberries), and a strip of lemon rind (about 2cm).
  5. Pour enough extra virgin olive oil over the cheese and herbs to completely submerge them, leaving about 1cm of space at the top of the jar.
  6. Seal the jar tightly. For best flavor, let it infuse in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. Store in a cool, dark place for up to one week. Enjoy!
  7. Serve with crusty bread, crackers, salads, pasta, pizza, or as part of an antipasto platter.
