I recently needed feta for a recipe but came up with a substitute on the spot when I noted the price and suspected that it wouldn't taste good anyway. I don't mind paying for authentic/genuine quality, but I'm glad I followed my gut and passed since it sounds like it wouldn't have tasted good.
Jesus Christ the rennet, I had completely forgotten, I am glad you mentioned! ;) Hey, Jim, how does that lady from your cheese making teaching video makes it? Wouldn't she know where to find rennet? I might just have to have my mother get it in Sao Paulo and overnight it to you in Niteroi... I will do more researching for you, I know some folks in Rio too... I won't give up!!!
and it doesn"t even taste good!!!! waste of money!!!!

true and its ridiculously small piece! I'll bet there's a good chance to become rich starting feta-for-the-people business in Brazil! Let's?
ReplyDeleteLet's do it!
ReplyDeleteRay has promised to bring rennet -- then we can make the cheese ourselves - no problem!
ReplyDelete[still looking for a rennet source locally]

There is a large Greek community in Sao Paulo, I will ask around for tips on feta, jeez, maybe they know about rennet too...
ReplyDeleteI love the cheese that is so readily available here. But seriously why the crap is it so freaking expensive!
