2 pints full fat milk
120 mil live culture from previous batch - or carton live natural yoghurt
retain the whey for bread making
if you want greek style cheese for spreading on your morning toast, I use this recipe
- stir 1/2 teasp salt into the thick yoghurt
- strain for 2 days till quite firm
- roll into even sized rounds of cheese
- mix 1 tablsp fresh chopped rosemary, 1 tablesp fresh thyme and/ or greek oregano plus 2 tablesp dried chopped chillies with 1/2 pint olive oil
- place cheese balls into a glass jar, pour over the olive oil mixture
- & store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks
serve spread on warm toast, with a little of the olive oil flavour

I've made yoghurt before but I've never tried straining it. I love Greek yoghurt so I'll definitely be trying this!
I've never tried straining the yogurt but now I have seen this posting there is no excuse!
Hi Margaret, Sam.
My husband likes the creamy greek yoghurt & I like the cheeses.
I've accidentally forgotten the salt in the yoghurt mix, & it was dreadful.
It does need it.
You can cheat and strain of a large tub of Yeo Valley natural yoghurt to see if you like the results
