Homemade Vegan Feta Cheese

Step 1

Soak the macadamia nuts in clear water overnight or for 8hrs. Drain and rinse once the soaking time elapses.

Step 2

Place the nuts into a high-speed blender alongside the. remainder of the ingredients: filtered water, agar agar sea salt and citric acid. Blend on a high-speed until smooth & creamy.

Step 3

Transfer the nut mix into a non-stick saucepan and heat over low/medium heat and continuously stir (important!). Heat the mix to about 60C (140F), you will realise that the mixture will begin to thicken up once the right temperature is reached.

Step 4

Stir thoroughly, then pour the content into a small container or flat tray - I used a small, round springform pan. Place it into the refrigerator for a minimum of 1-2 hours until set.

Step 5

Carefully remove the vegan cheese from the tray and cut it into cubes.

Step 6

Use your vegan feta immediately, or mix all ingredients for the marinade in a jar and store the vegan feta cheese cubes in the marinade in the fridge. If you marinate the vegan feta for 2 days, it will be more flavorful.
