Drained Cheese Flavoured with Herbs and Garlic

This is a very simple method of producing a ‘house-made’ cheese that is delicious to eat with salads or on crispbreads. You will need a pierced mould which can be bought from a good kitchenware supplier. You can also improvise with a scrupulously clean flower pot or by piercing holes in the bottom of an empty fromage frais or yoghurt container.
