California Farm Yoghurt Feta Cheese

When you make fresh greek yoghurt overnight from half a gallon of full milk and a cup of leftover greek yoghurt, you end up with whey and yoghurt. When you pour off the whey, the yoghurt still has whey in it. Using salt and cheesecloth, twisting the cloth, and draining the mixture another day, the salt removes more whey from the yoghurt till it turns to a delicious fresh cheese that tastes like feta cheese. Reuse the whey.
