Step to Step Guide to Prepare Lactose-free Feta cheese
Feta
cheese is a tangy and salty cheese that is made from sheep or cow's milk or a
mixture of sheep's and goat's milk. However, if you are lactose intolerant,
consuming feta cheese can be problematic, as it contains lactose, a natural
sugar in milk products. The good news is that there are ways to make feta
cheese lactose-free that the blog will explain.
Essential
Step of Preparation
To
make lactose-free feta cheese, you will need to use lactose-free milk or milk
that has been pre-treated with lactase enzyme. Lactase is the enzyme that
breaks down lactose into simpler sugars, making it easier to digest for people
with lactose intolerance. You can find lactase-treated milk in most grocery
stores or health food stores.
Follow
Steps
Heat
the lactose-free milk in a large pot until it reaches 86°F (30°C). Add the
starter culture and rennet, according to the instructions on the package.
- Stir the
mixture gently for a few seconds, and then let it sit undisturbed for
about an hour until the curd has formed.
- Cut the curd
into small cubes and stir gently to release the whey.
- Let the
mixture sit for 10-15 minutes until the curd sinks to the bottom.
- Scoop the
curd into a cheesecloth-lined mold and press it down gently. Let it sit
for a few hours until it has firmed up.
- Remove the
cheese from the mold and place it in a brine solution with salt and water.
Let it sit in the brine for a few hours or overnight.
- Remove the
cheese from the brine, wrap it, and store it in the refrigerator.
