Cultured Mazoon {yogurt} cheese
This cheese is personally made by one who wishes to remain unknown:
Cheese in Herb Olive Oil (back right)
So I now have six jars of yogurt cheese in olive oil made. I used basil, parsley, crushed black pepper, lemon zest, orange zest, sea salt mixed into the cheese. In the olive oil is a bay leaf, and roasted garlic, and more crushed black pepper. I will post some pictures tomorrow.
Here is the cost brake down:
1 case of 16 large mount pint jars $10.00 [16 jars/ 10 = 0.625 for each jar]
2 large containers of Plain Greek Yogurt with live cultures $10.00
1 large container of extra Virgin Olive Oil $10.00
2 bunches of Italian Parsley $2.00
1 bunch of Basile $3.00
2 Lemons $1.00
1 Orange $0.50
Crushed Black Pepper Corns & Sea Salt kitchen staple
Roasted Garlic kitchen staple
6 Bay Leafs off my little Bay Tree (free)
Cheese Cloth
micro plane
bowl
a sheet of wax paper
After draining for 24 hours, then I placed a small plate on top and a weight for an additional 24 hours. I removed from the cheese cloth placed into a bowl, added herbs, zest, salt, and pepper. I rolled the cheese in to balls about the size of a golf ball and placed on wax paper. When complete I placed 3 balls into each jar, added about 1/2 teaspoon of roasted garlic, 1 bay leaf, a pinch of sea salt, and a couple of good grinds of the pepper mill. I then filled each jar with olive oil. Cleaned rims and place on the lids.
I placed the jars back into the divided box and placed them in a cool spot (about 55 degrees). Turn the jars top to bottom once a day for a week. After one week the cheese and oil are ready to eat.
Cost: I ended up with 6 pint jars. Each being about $5.04 a jar. The bonus is not only will you have a nice cheese, but the oil can also be used on bread, or salads.

cheese cloth as found in stores is not tight woven, you can use regular cloth or cheese cloth cloth from cheese making supply.
The cost break down may not be up to date.
Have fun and enjoy, long life~the black bread, if you can't find it, you'll have to make it
