Hello Ivo
With the Sirene starter I had now quite a success!
Very good! I recommend to *keep* the temperature of the milk after the sirene starter culture and the rennet have been added at 37 deg. C for 1.5h. Second store it for some days, it
will get more intense in taste, harder in consistency and also a little bit more sour, as I remeber it from my holidays in Bulgaria. There is nothing better to start a meal than with a “Shopska Salad” with fresh grated sirene cheese on the top of it.

The sirene was an experiment and it was amazing, instead of brining I have marinated the feta in olive oil with herbs…took a jar to a party, and guests lined up for a taste! Just wish I could order the sirene starter in a larger quantity to make consecutive batches.
