Fetta cheese

[pumpkin pie]

Is it possible to turn my ricotta which has set lovely and firm, into a type of feta,  if so how?

I don't think so, but someone wiser than me may be able to help you. You could bake it for something different.
You can make feta with the thermomix too.

I think I owe you a big apology. My DH has just pointed out I used a Cheese kit to make the Fetta. However I have made haloumi. Here is a bit of a discussion about cheeses in the thermomix.

Thanks cookie1,  I went ahead and treated my firm Ricotta as you would Feta.  So I sliced my nice round ball into thick slices, and then large cubes.  I added 5 tabs salt to 1/2 of the whey that was left from making my cheese, and added my sliced ricotta.  I placed it in the fridge for 24 hrs, and then tasted it.  Oh Yum, had a lovely smooth texture and salty cream taste.   so I took a bit to the girls at my work (my sounding/tasting girls) and they all loved it and the texture.  So tonight I have removed it from the salted whey, and put it into plain whey and tomorrow I will put it into olive oil and some oregano and basil to eat on a cheese platter, or add to salads etc.
Sometimes it pays to experiment a little.

What a lateral thinker you are. I will try this next time I make ricotta. Hopefully it will stop me eating it all.
