For a smoother texture, use a high-quality yogurt with a creamy consistency. Experiment with different flavor combinations! Try adding chopped fresh herbs (dill, chives, parsley), sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or even a drizzle of honey for a touch of sweetness. If you don't have cheesecloth, a clean, fine-mesh kitchen towel can be used as a substitute. The whey (drained liquid) is rich in protein and can be used in smoothies, soups, or even for soaking grains.

Oct 20, 2024I used Greek yogurt, and it worked great. The cheese was a bit tangier, which I loved.
